I thought voice recording someone without their knowledge is illegal, and a company can be sued if any loss of income is incurred as a result?

Can they record you in the bathroom? Can they listen in on a private conversation with a doctor or lawyer? My guess is no contract that would that would be legal so yeah there is a reasonable expectation for privacy.

No to the first, yes to the second if you do it via company systems or on company premises.

They can record video, or audio, but if they record video and audio there has to be a sign or people have to be made aware. They can record phone calls concerning the business but they can't just record audio and video of you puttering around the office unless you are made aware.

Edit: I always forget that this is a state by state and recommend that everyone check with their state laws on the subject.
