Abstract
Background and aim: Privacy in the workplace from the perspective of law and jurisprudence is a sensitive and important issue due to the challenges between the rights of workers and employers. On the one hand, employees provide their employers with a lot of private information for employment and during work, and on the other hand, employers need to monitor and collect information to protect their economic interests and workplace security. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive legal and jurisprudential framework to balance these mutual rights.

Methods: This research is of a theoretical type and has been carried out using a descriptive-analytical method.

Ethical considerations: In this research, the principles of trustworthiness, honesty, neutrality and originality of the work have been respected.

Results: From a legal perspective, although there are no specific and codified laws in Iran, the Privacy Protection Bill has attempted to establish frameworks for electronic surveillance.

Conclusion: It seems necessary to develop a comprehensive and transparent law that defines the boundaries of modern surveillance, especially in the field of information technologies. This law should be inspired by the jurisprudential and ethical foundations of Islam and, taking into account the developments of the information age, seek to create a healthy, safe and trust-filled work environment.
