A US company must pay R1.3 million to a remote worker it fired for not keeping on his camera

A Dutch court ruled that a US-based company owes a remote employee R1.3 million for wrongful termination.

The employee, who wasn't named in the suit, said the company could already monitor his activities on his laptop, and noted that he also was sharing his screen.the requirement for employees to keep their webcams on was"no different" from how an employee would be seen by everyone all day in a physical office, according to the court papers.

In its ruling last week, the Dutch court sided with the employee, saying the firing was"not legally valid."
