I am currently employed by a council in QLD & we have been issued IPad air (4th). We use these to record asset details & work emails etc.
We take these home with us daily & use them when we are 'on-call' to remotely monitor assets (essential sevices).
We have now been told that a particualr department( NOT SAFETY) wants to use the IPads to track our movements.
Can they legally do this? While at work but also while we are at home.
The excuse given so far by the particular department is "Value for money for the ratepayers". The average salary of an employe in that particular department is well into the 6 figures, while myself & other employees are well below 1/2 of that salary.
Thankyou
