Privacy in the workplace is a matter of legislation, common law, and  policy.  Some aspects of privacy in the Canadian context are set out in  legislation - and it can be a wide variety of legislation. BC, Alberta,  Quebec and federally regulated businesses are subject to specific  privacy legislation, but the rest of the provinces and territories rely  on common law. Then there is employee privacy expectations which can be  greatly impact by employer policy.  How do you make sense of it?   

Gayle Wadden speaks to us about this.  She is the cofounder of  Compliance Works which is software helping employers stay up-to-date on  their compliance obligations.  One key area is privacy.
