I'd first figure out if it's even worth fighting.
It's your employer. They already have all your info. You have no expectation of privacy when on the premises. They're already recording you as you come and go. All they're going to do now is analyze the video to log when everyone comes and goes.
So the formula here should be:
Like do you really give a shit? Is it that important to you? They're within their rights, your rights aren't being violated and this probably won't affect you in any material way (unless you're a slacker who shows up late and leaves early, in which case you haven't got a leg to stand on).
In a scenario like this, I won't fault someone for standing on principle if thier rights were being trampled, but for the life of me I can't figure out what principle or right is being violated here. Employers are allowed to record and track their employees while they're on the job.
Rights are getting eroded at break neck speeds. When do we draw the line. I don't trust the vendor that supplies the devices.
What right is being eroded here?
He's 100% right. Can your EMPLOYER require an EMPLOYEE to follow a procedure that allows the EMPLOYER to identify the EMPLOYEE? Uh, yeah, they can do that man lol. I'm a lawyer, not in privacy, but this is common sense. Now if there was evidence they were storing your facial recognition information improperly, you may have a case.
