Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on Oversight and Government Reform, and House Administration, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The Stop Spying Bosses Act restricts employer surveillance and monitoring of workers by requiring employers with 11 or more employees to disclose what data they collect about workers, including personal information, work activity monitoring, biometric data, and information used in automated hiring or scheduling decisions. The bill gives employees the right to access their collected data within 30 days, request corrections, and review what information employers used to make work-related decisions like hiring, firing, or pay adjustments at least 7 days before those decisions take effect. Enforcement is handled by the Department of Labor's new Worker Protection and Technology Division, state attorneys general, and private lawsuits brought by workers, with penalties ranging from $500 to $100,000 for violations plus actual damages and attorney's fees. The law protects employees who report violations from employer retaliation and prohibits companies from forcing workers into mandatory arbitration or class action waivers to resolve disputes under the act.
