Tracking Your Employees with GPS Laws Compliance and Policy

It can be difficult to know when GPS tracking employees is legal. It all depends on a few factors like company size, your industry, country of residence, your culture and many more. Before you implement any GPS employee tracking policy it’s always a good idea to find out how far employers are allowed to go in terms of monitoring their employees.
This post talks about laws and policies regarding GPS tracking employees in some major countries. In the United States, for example, there are no federal regulations prohibiting an employer from installing a GPS tracking device onto an employee's vehicle without consent.

However, each state has its own set of laws governing whether or not an employer can track its employees with GPS devices. For example, in Illinois employers may use GPS devices to track the movement of an employee's personal vehicle while they're using it for work purposes but must notify the individual that they're being tracked before doing so.
