The answer

It is permissible to monitor workers and report their work-related errors, provided that this does not involve spying on their private and hidden matters, such as eavesdropping on their calls or searching their belongings, because spying is forbidden by Islamic law. As for reporting visible errors such as sleeping, absence, or tardiness, this is not considered forbidden spying. The monitor must be truthful, offer advice to employees before reporting, and be gentle with them as much as possible.
