Video Surveillance (CCTV) Policy
Purpose: After careful consideration, Corey Auto Wreckers (the Company) determined that the use of surveillance cameras was necessary to ensure the safety & security of customers, employees and company assets. Such use will improve safety and security by deterring acts of theft, violence and other criminal activity, and increasing the likelihood that perpetrators of these acts will be identified. The company has created this surveillance policy in furtherance of these purposes and to assist in complying with federal and provincial privacy laws governing the collection of personal information.
Camera Operations: Camera locations were chosen because of increased potential incidents of theft, violence and other criminal activity. They are also areas where employee expectations of privacy are minimal. Cameras record images 24 hours per day seven days a week.
Use and retention of Footage:
Sanctions: Individuals who fail to follow this policy or who use surveillance camera footage inappropriately will be subject to disciplinary sanctions, up to and including termination.
For further information about this policy employees and customers can contact the HR manager.
