Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

Re: Employee Rights

It depends where you are not where he is. Were you at work, if so the answer is yes.

Re: Employee Rights

My firm does not practice in this area. Our focus is on employee benefit claims.

However, I believe the answer to your question depends upon your reasonable expectation of privacy. Do you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the restroom at work? Yes. Do you have a reasonable expectation of privacy in your employer's offices? Not really. It is the employer's office, so he/she has the right to install surveillance -- with certain limitations, such as bathrooms.

In any event, I encourage you to seek the counsel of an attorney who handles these kinds of cases.
