- Two-party consent means two-party consent: All parties to a call must be told the call is going to be recorded and must consent.
- Employers with recording systems should consider barring use of company telephones for personal calls and making sure that people receiving calls on a recorded line automatically are informed, up front, that the call will be recorded.
- Barring all personal calls is not necessary, but it may offer some protection against the legal consequences of a breakdown in the employer’s system of ensuring notice to all parties before the recording begins.
Note: Many other states follow the more restrictive version of Federal law–two party consent–as well. ~Kevin
