- Title
Privacy Law Reform in New Zealand: Will it Touch the Workplace?
- Authors
ROTH, PAUL
- Abstract
This paper explores the implications of the introduction of new information-gathering technologies into the workplace. It concludes that, unfortunately, proposed reforms to the Privacy Act 1993 are unlikely to ‘step in’ to protect workers’ rights to privacy. A comparison between privacy complaints in the workplace in New Zealand and Hong Kong demonstrates a regrettably lax approach on the part of New Zealand’s privacy regulatory actors and bodies. The issue of workplace surveillance is only going to become more vexed over time, as new emerging technologies develop.
