My employer has recently installed a camera in our lunchroom. A few of my colleagues share concerns about this occurring in our common area. I am wondering if they are able to put this device in?

In NSW, the Workplace Surveillance Act 2005 specifies when and how surveillance can be carried out in the workplace.

The main methods include overt (you are made aware) and covert (you are not made aware) surveillance.

Employers are using more and more surveillance at work to protect against theft and crime.

Cameras have been used for many years in retail workplaces. However, with the advances in technology ‘surveillance’ may also include the use of other devices such as: l global positioning systems (GPS) for transport tracking l listening devices l telephones l computers – for example, to monitor employee’s access to inappropriate emails or websites l biometrics (technology that recognises people based on fingerprints, iris pattern, DNA, handwriting, etc) – commonly used in monitoring time and attendance of employees, as well as for security purposes

All surveillance is required to be placed in clearly visible places with signs indicating surveillance is taking place.

The employer is also required to provide at least 14 days’ notice for any new surveillance devices. Additionally, the Act specifically prohibits surveillance in certain areas. These include change rooms, toilets, showers or bathing facilities at a workplace.

So, to answer the question, employers are able to install surveillance cameras in common areas such as lunch rooms. However, before the device is installed a minimum of 14 days’ notice must be provided.

YOUR INFORMATION OFFICERS GEORGIA, ISOBEL & CLAUDIA

I was just wondering what happens if my employer does not provide me with a pay slip, and what information should be included on my pay slips?

Pay slips are vital to ensure that you, the employee, receive the correct pay and entitlements.

Additionally, it allows for your employer to keep accurate and complete records. Your employer is bound by Fair Work Regulations to issue all employees a pay slip. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in your employer being issued an infringement notice by the Fair Work Ombudsman.

There are a few things that must be included on your pay slip, including: l employer’s name l employer’s Australian Business Number (ABN) l employee’s name l pay period e.g. From 04/01/2023 - To 10/01/2023 l date of payment
