- All businesses require the monitoring of employees to some degree. As the most valuable asset a company has, it is essential to have some insight that is not directly tied to performance. Do they use their time efficiently? Do they behave in a way that aligns with the company’s values? Do they represent the company in a favorable light in the public sphere? All of these factors help to determine an employee’s value.

• Does an employee have the right to have a negative opinion about their boss or the company?
• What obligation does an employee have to disclose why they are unwell, and unable to work?
