Employer Watching Staff on CCTV

an employer can watch the cameras but cant do anything about standing around talking or playing on your phone. if cash is consistently going missing from the register every time a certain employee is on shift then you are within your rights to monitor the situation.

in ireland the laws are heavily weighted in favour of the employee, same way they are heavily weighted in favour of a tenant over a landlord.

Cant do anything from you standing around for an hour on your phone? Umm they can, you will look lazy and like a dosser therefore they will take a disliking to you and probably find a reason to fire you. No one likes a lazy employee.

When i worked in that cafe a girl i knew as an acquaintance got a job there, we were all cash in hand etc just casual type of work, she done a few shifts and never got asked to come back, it was so awkward when she kept asking me why my boss didnt give her any hours, because all she did was stand around, made no effort to look busy or try prove she was willing or able to work hard etc
