It is legal. If you don't want to take part, you can always find another job. Of course, if you have nothing to hide and are working effectively, then you will be happy to sign.

It's legal to do it this way - just the modern version of the old-time time & motion man standing behind you with stopwatch & clipboard. You are entitled to refuse to sign if you wish.

Sure it's legal - it's their company, and they aren't harming you, just trying to determine what amount of work is reasonable to expect. What's so unfair about that?

Sure you can refuse. And sure, they can fire you and probably would.

I think the form will be regarding the filming part of the exercise. Data protection and all that.
You cannot refuse to be studied by your company or their Representatives in the execution of your job.

IT is completely legal, companies have to try and increase production. The alternative it outsourcing, which means no job at all

Speak to ACAS before signing anything.

It is legal. You get paid to work... they get paid to make sure you work as efficient as they can get you to do so.

You are there to work! get over it.

has your employer got to let you know if they are doing time and motion with cctv cameras?
