Well there’s too little info here to form an opinion? By “use GPS tracking device”, do you mean he wants to install one on your vehicle? Or is there one already there, or???

In general, if he informs you, and you chose to allow it, certainly he can. If he tries to install something secretly and use it without your knowledge, then he has probably crossed into the land of illegality. In general, though, an employer has the right to monitor employee’s work performance during duty hours … GPS or no GPS.

Does he pay you for the miles you travel for business? You might very well want to be tracked just for tax purposes … you know you have to declare whatever reimbursement you get for mileage, and be able to prove business mileage use.

But if you are real, and want to discuss this, write back with some more info.

Thanks for writing in. Have to respond though that it’s essentially impossible to answer your question based on the information provided.

The most important consideration would be, who owned the car, who placed the device, how “Public” the parking lot might really be, etc.

You should consult an attorney in your state for real advice. On the Internet you will get dozens of opinions and “I thinks”, but no layman’s opinion, including mine, is worth anything without knowing the law of your state and the particulars of your case.

When you say “benefits in kind” I am guessing you are talking about the availability of the company vehicle 24/7 being considered part of your overall income?

Seems to me that the tracking protects not only the company’s bottom line, but yours. But if you still don’t like it, I don’t see any legal thing you can do about it. Sorry
