US Worker Sues Employer After Firing Over Refusal of AI Webcam Surveillance

Glennis Von Sander-Timinski, an eight-year remote employee at Sutherland Healthcare Solutions, sued after being fired on September 8. The company required Sentinel AI software that would capture about 160 webcam photos per day, one every three minutes. She refused, citing lupus health risks and home privacy concerns.

• Sentinel AI would take about 160 webcam photos per day, one every three minutes
• Employer offered three options: accept AI monitoring, commute daily, or lose the job
• The commute would have been roughly six hours round-trip
• The lawsuit seeks reinstatement, back pay and emotional distress damages
