So professional drivers, watched by their employer, are using those to escape the control.
Even if they allow them to disable the GPS, it would be a reason for firing smb. Or to cut their wage since, drivers with GPS on will get a bonus if they are faster. Or sth shit like that.
It's illegal to spy on your workers through a camera in most EU countries. Why should GPS tracking be legal?
Can you elaborate? Is it illegal to have security cameras in a business if that means that an employee may be on it?
It's illegal, at least in my country, to use your camera to keep an eye on your employees. You can only view it in case of illegal activities, for example something being stolen, etc. You also cannot save the footage for more than a certain amount of time, unless it needs to be used for an investigation of said illegal activities. I think it was 2 weeks, but I'm not sure.
Using the camera to check up if your employees are working is illegal.
