Overview: This week’s assignment forum examines how invasion of privacy and intrusion could impact the monitoring and surveillance of employees. This is the seventh assignment forum related to your course project.
Your unit 7 assignment forum is based on the Koeppel v. Speirs case study found in Chapter 15 of your textbook. The case involved a private-sector employer’s installation of a concealed video surveillance camera that was challenged in an intrusion upon seclusion privacy tort claim. At issue was the legality of whether surveillance equipment secretly installed in a bathroom can support a claim for invasion of privacy when the equipment could not be operated after it was discovered to produce identifiable images. The court ultimately concluded that an intrusion upon seclusion claim does not require evidence that the offending party actually succeeded in viewing or otherwise intruding on the plaintiff. You will explore the facts leading up to a decision in this case and evaluate the importance of this ruling to human resources practice and your role as a human resources practitioner.
