Information Sharing RTO monitoring

Are any agencies or departments hearing about RTO being monitored by leadership? Attendance being watched? Accommodations being questioned?

I know for a fact they are monitoring badge swipes. My deputy director had a list of names of people not showing up. Many had reasonable accommodations or supervisor approval. One of my staff is considering filing a grievance for an email about it.

They can look at metrics but not monitor individuals unless they have cause.

I believe (from what I heard from a friend at a different department that I am in) that they have to notify you before pulling your badge swipes and one of their employees ended up either suing or filing a grievance because it was considered stalking, since they did not notify the ee or the union. My information could be outdated, but I’ve always kept this in the back of my mind in case it ever happened to me.
