The age of technology has brought various social dilemmas to the forefront and invasion of privacy of employees at workplace is a significant one to mention. Gaining access to private and sensitive information of an individual by the employer is typically referred to the invasion of privacy. However, rules, acts and guidelines have been developed by the legislation of the United States to protect the privacy rights of the employees, but this aspect has not been widely expressed. Employee privacy in the workplace has been observed as relatively new emerging areas of concern in the modern world that has been highlighted from various historical events and occurrences. The advocates unequivocally declare that they should be leveraged with the privacy rights in order to be protective and competent. However, potential conflicts have occurred with respect to the privacy, as the employers have initiated to monitor the activities of the employees. The innovative technology, the rapidly increasing use of social media and the changing trends of the society are the leading components that have augmented the issue to paramount heights. In response to alleviate the intensity of the issue, legislative bodies have developed various laws to protect the invasion of employee privacy that include Electronic Communication Privacy Act. Moreover, various Supreme Court decisions in favor to the privacy rights conclude that this grave concern has been recognized as fundamental to the current society, even though the legislations do not explicitly assure the right to employee privacy at workplace. Few recommendations are provided for the employers that would facilitate them in developing policies considering the employee privacy with gravity in order to ensure that they do not run afoul of the law. Future implications of employee privacy have also been precisely discussed.
