enter data for each client. The freelancers, however, are taking considerably longer. In their first month, it took an average of $18$ hours per client. Now, it$$s gone up to $25$ hours.

You discussed the situation with another manager, and he suggested using a program called EyeSpy that periodically takes pictures of freelancers' computer screens and records their keystrokes and mouse clicks. At the end of the week, you can examine each freelancer$$s productivity to better understand what they are doing while on the clock.

Should the company be allowed to install EyeSpy to monitor freelancers$$ performance? If not, how else could you find out why data entry is taking the freelancers so much longer than it takes full$-$time employees?

Is it legal for companies to monitor their workers$$ performance without telling them? Why or why not?
