Photo Every Three Minutes: Remote Worker Fired for Refusing AI Camera Monitoring, Sues Employer for Discrimination

A New Jersey remote employee with more than 10 years at the company was fired after refusing a system that used her webcam to take a photo every three minutes, about 160 times a day. She has lupus, and her doctor asked the employer to reduce the monitoring frequency; the company instead offered her a choice between accepting the system, commuting three hours each way to the office, or being fired. She is suing under the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination, alleging the company failed to accommodate her condition.
