Is it legal to put a camera at the time clock and do not tell the employees?


Additional Details
The employer did not advise the employees that the camera is there and we do not know if it records audio either.

It is the employer's property, premises and equipment. If they install a camera they are not obligated to tell employees about it. I believe it would be illegal if they recorded audio, but video is fine, as long is they do not record restricted areas, llike bathrooms or changing areas.

Privacy laws vary by state, so you should do a search on "employee right to privacy + State) and see what the laws are specific to where you work.

Yes, you can have security cameras anywhere except in bathrooms.

Yes, as long as you aren't putting hidden cameras in the bathrooms and watching people change and stuff.

Sorry, employees must be aware of all cameras placed in the establishment, even in clocks. It is illegal from what I know.
