Stop Spying Bosses Act: Worker Data Privacy and Surveillance Disclosure.
This Act significantly restricts employers' ability to monitor workers, both on- and off-duty, and mandates full transparency regarding data collection. Employers must disclose exactly what data is collected, how it is used, and how it influences employment decisions. Crucially, it prohibits surveillance for purposes unrelated to job duties, such as tracking union activity, health status, or political views, granting citizens greater control over their personal information and strengthening labor rights.
Key points
Employers must clearly disclose to employees and applicants what data is collected, how, when, and for what business purpose, including its impact on performance reviews.
Monitoring employees while off-duty, in sensitive areas (like restrooms), or tracking union activities, political opinions, or health status unrelated to the job is prohibited.
Employees gain the right to request their collected surveillance data (within 7 days) and have incomplete or erroneous data corrected.
The Act invalidates pre-dispute arbitration agreements and joint-action waivers related to surveillance violations, allowing workers to pursue claims in court.
