Can an employer remotely control an employee's computer while working remotely?
Employers can remotely access or monitor work computers for specific technical and security purposes, such as software updates, network maintenance, and tracking work hours or system access. However, they must provide prior notice to the employee, and they are legally prohibited from monitoring personal activity or private information, which would violate privacy and data protection rights.
Why it matters
If you work remotely, your employer can only remotely monitor your computer for legitimate business and security reasons after informing you in advance; they cannot use this access to surveil your private life or personal internet usage.SIC NotíciasRead original ↗
