If an employer uses fingerprints for biometric timekeeping, is that a violation of llinois' Biometric Privacy Act, or is an employee's privacy claim preempted by the Illinois Workers' Compensation Act? While it is hard to believe a privacy breach is the kind of "accidental injury" contemplated under work comp, the Illinois Appellate Court, First District, is taking up the issue. Should be interesting:

This case will certainly have an impact on how employers handle biometric data.
