An Act relative to consumers and workers

This bill establishes rules for employers in Massachusetts regarding the use of electronic monitoring tools like cameras and software to track employee activities. It requires businesses to provide written notice to employees and customers before collecting data, specifying what information is gathered, how it is collected, and who will be monitored. The law allows exceptions where employers have reasonable suspicion of illegal or harmful conduct that could cause significant economic loss, permitting them to monitor without prior notice if they file a notarized statement explaining the situation. Employers must also adhere to limits on where and how data is collected, ensuring surveillance occurs only at the workplace and relates to work duties unless specific exceptions apply.
