GPS/Video Surveillance. The District agrees that if any GPS or Video surveillance technologies are to be used, the purpose of such use shall be the protection of persons and/or property and that such technology will not be used to monitor employee conduct or performance. GPS or Video surveillance technologies are measures toward improving safety and will not be used by management for the purpose of finding misconduct or issuing discipline, referred to as "targeted surveillance." In the event the District intends to implement any new GPS or Video Surveillance technologies the District will give the Union 60 days’ notice. Once the notice has been provided the parties shall meet to discuss, privacy rights, implementation plans, and formal notice to the employees. In circumstances where there is reasonable concern that misconduct has occurred and where records/footage generated from GPS or Video surveillance may assist in the determination of whether or not suspected misconduct has occurred, such records/footage may be reviewed by the District and relied upon for disciplinary purposes. The parties agree that information gathered from these devices will only be reviewed by the Director of Human Resources and the Department Head responsible for the disciplinary decision, and Union representatives.
