Vermont Workplace Recording Laws

Vermont has no state wiretapping statute, so workplace recording is governed by federal one-party consent under 18 U.S.C. 2511. Vermont employees may record any workplace conversation they participate in without notifying other parties. Employers can still enforce no-recording policies, and State v. Geraw limits secret recording in private spaces.

Vermont's one-party consent framework, governed by federal law (18 U.S.C. 2511), allows employees to record workplace conversations they participate in. This guide covers employee rights, employer surveillance, NLRA protections, and evidence use.

Employee Recording Rights

You can record meetings with supervisors, HR conversations, coworker discussions, client calls, and training sessions without telling anyone. One-party consent requires only your participation.

You cannot record conversations you are not part of, install hidden cameras in private areas (13 V.S.A. 2605), or place recording devices in someone's home (State v. Geraw).

Employer Surveillance

Audio surveillance by employers requires one-party consent. Many employers use video-only systems.
