Does UpWork monitor your screen?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 9:28 pm

UpWork has been accused of monitoring its workers’ screens in order to monitor their work. In a lAWSuit filed in California, a former UpWork employee alleges that the company monitors its workers’ screens “in real time” to improve its efficiency.

PRO TIP: Upwork does monitor your screen and can see everything that you are doing. This includes your passwords, credit card information, and other sensitive data. Be sure to keep this in mind when working on Upwork and only give out information that you are comfortable sharing.

UpWork denies these allegations and says that it only monitors its workers’ screens “in the event of an emergency.” However, the allegations have raised questions about how much UpWork monitors its workers’ screens and whether it is using this information in a fair and ethical way.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual company to decide how much it monitors its workers’ screens. However, if UpWork is monitoring its workers’ screens in a way that is unfair and unethical, then it should be stopped.
