The scenario you have presented raises concerns about privacy and trust in the workplace. While it is understandable that an employer wants to ensure that their employees are performing their duties, the method of recording and monitoring every shift raises questions about the level of trust and respect that the employer has for their employees.

Recording employees for the entire shift may also raise privacy concerns, particularly if the recordings capture personal conversations or activities that are not related to work. Employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the workplace, and any monitoring should be done in a way that respects their privacy rights.

It would be advisable for the employees to speak to their employer about their concerns and explore alternative methods of monitoring performance, such as regular check-ins or performance reviews. If the employer insists on recording every shift, employees may wish to seek guidance from a legal or regulatory authority to ensure that their privacy rights are being respected.
