Add Comment Question: I audio recorded office manager and human resource representative speaking poorly of me while I left the office and set my personal phone to record conversation and I did this for proof as I was having anxiety about what I believed was happening and creating a hostile workplace environment. The owner would have never believed me otherwise. I’m worried this is illegal. I have to return to work this week to discuss only because our internal surveillance cameras are audio apparently were unintelligible according to the owner. Answer: Thank you for your question. Ontario follows the one-party consent rule under the Criminal Code of Canada. This means that if you are part of a conversation, you can legally record it without telling the other participants. However, you are not permitted to record coworkers if you are not part of the conversation. This is considered unlawful interception.
