    Most all states have laws/acts regarding the monitoring and/or recording of conversations and/or telephone calls that apply to employers. You didn't mention your state but this is *probably* legal.

    Can you site those states, because most all states that I have seen have a "Business Use Exception" and Title III of 18 U.S.C. § 2511 provides two exceptions that can enable employers to monitor their employees' phone calls without violating the statute.

    1. Buisness extension exemption
    2. Consent

    As long as employees have been notified that the employer is monitoring their calls/conversations, they are within the law.

    I have all the states & whether the state restricts by employers the monitoring or recording of conversations or telephone calls + law on surveillance. It includes main provisions of law, surveillance, audio recording consent, covered employers & citation code. Most of the states that do have a law re audio recording consent (which is most all of them) allow it w/o employee consent - that is why I said what this employer is doing is *probably* legal -- didn't have name of state. The info is written by employment lawyers and/or human resource people in each state.

    Take it or leave it - you have your sources & I have mine.
