New hires must receive notice at the time of job offer; existing employees whose employers already use electronic monitoring must be notified within 60 days of the law's effective date

Required notices must summarize how electronic monitoring will be used (e.g., gathering productivity data, summarizing feedback) and describe any verification process for the data collected

The Department of Labor and Industries may investigate complaints and impose civil penalties of $100-$5,000 for willful violations, with penalties of at least $5,000 for repeat willful violations

Employees may also file civil lawsuits seeking $100-$5,000 in statutory damages plus attorneys' fees, actual damages, reinstatement, and injunctive relief within 3 years of the violation
