“A school custodian says she was fired after refusing to put an app on her phone that checked her location, citing privacy concerns.”
The cleaning company wanted a geofence app on her personal phone, not a company device. She said no and was fired within two months, and the refusal is in her termination letter. The company says it complies with Alberta’s privacy law. Lawyers say that law was never written for tattleware, and the worker still pays for the phone.
