Answer:
The law typically treats video surveillance and audio surveillance differently. The answer to this question depends in large part on your location and the laws currently in place in that particular state. In addition, if the employer notified employees by posting signs or issuing policies (such as those provided in an employee manual) which refer to the employer’s audio taping practice, the courts may find that employees impliedly or expressly consented to being taped.
