New Jersey lawsuit: worker fired after refusing AI webcam surveillance

A New Jersey lawsuit claims Sutherland Healthcare Solutions fired a remote worker with lupus instead of reducing AI webcam monitoring. Sentinel AI allegedly captured about 160 facial images per eight-hour shift, one every three minutes. The worker was terminated on September 8, 2026, after her request for a medical accommodation was denied.

• Sentinel AI captured a face image roughly every 3 minutes, about 160 per shift
• Worker sought reduced monitoring due to lupus and anxiety
• Company offered full monitoring, a 3-hour commute or resignation
• New Jersey bill S4075 would require impact assessments for AI monitoring
