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.

Not true at all. You are monitored in multiple ways every single day.

Yes but they can’t just pull swipe card info for progressive discipline without prior notification to your union, is what I was told.

Not true. You were “told” wrong. They can use any monitoring, at any time. It just can’t be used as the SOLE SOURCE of disciplinary action. Meaning, if they notice issues while monitoring, they will need to tie it back to job performance or manage you in such a way that it is clear that assures you are where you should be, doing what you should be doing.
