Electronic employee monitoring is rare.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Not sure
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer: (B)

Electronic employee monitoring is common in modern workplaces. With most work happening on computers, networks, and mobile devices, employers routinely monitor activity to protect sensitive data, enforce policies, ensure regulatory compliance, and gauge productivity. Monitoring can include analyzing system and application logs, email and chat monitoring, web and network traffic analysis, file access auditing, and location tracking or camera use on mobile devices. While privacy considerations and laws shape how this is done, the overall prevalence is high, so a statement that it is rare is not accurate.
