KPI tracking
KPI tracking is collecting and recording data on key performance indicators over time to measure progress toward business or project goals. It is a management and business term rather than a legal one. Legal issues arise when tracking involves employee personal information or contractual performance targets.
How BC law treats it
Under the Personal Information Protection Act, SBC 2003 c 63, employee personal information reasonably required to establish, manage or end the employment relationship may generally be collected, used and disclosed without consent, provided the employee is notified of the purposes first (ss. 13, 16 and 19).
What it means for your business
BC employers may track employee performance data, but should give notice and keep the data secure.
Risks and common mistakes
Retaining performance data longer than needed, or using it for unrelated purposes, can breach PIPA.
