At the intersection of Employment Law, Computer Law and New York State:

Starting May 7, 2022 all New York employers need to provide written notice to employees before electronically monitoring telephone, email, and internet access or usage.

The New York Law Review suggests that "Although the Law does not take effect for nearly six months, New York employers should consider taking the following steps:

Review electronic monitoring practices to determine what, if any, activities fall within the scope of the notice requirements under the Law;

Draft notice language in compliance with the Law;

Develop a process for ensuring that all new hires receive the notice and provide the requisite acknowledgement; and

Consider also developing a process for storing employee acknowledgements."
