Bosses Can Track Their Employees 24/7
In many states, employers aren’t barred from monitoring workers’ locations after hours or without their consent.

There’s no federal privacy law to keep businesses from tracking their employees with GPS, and only a handful of states impose restrictions on it. In some, like Texas, Virginia, Minnesota, and Tennessee, tracking vehicles without the owner’s consent is explicitly illegal; in California, a section of the penal code forbids tracking any “movable thing,” a provision that’s been used to challenge employer tracking in the past.
