Comments
What are the requirements to discipline employees using CCTV foootage.
Do we need employees consent or not.
Footage used by security unit and nowhere else in the company.
Video footage can be considered personal information as defined by the POPIA. You should be able to justify using it on the basis of pursuing your legitimate interests (i.e. protecting the property of the employer and other employees), but certain areas (e.g. bathrooms) would be off limits. To avoid controversy, it would be advisable to obtain consent if practicable.
