I don't know anything specific about those countries (I'm certainly not a 'European expert'), but you could use the below as general reference material.  I would expect monitoring to be legitimate interests rather than contractual, because I'm not sure you'd pass the strict necessity test (including proportionality and subsidiarity)- but note that with legit interests you've got the balancing assessment and similar necessity, proportionality and subsidiarity tests.

Subject: [data-protection] European experts?

Good afternoon,
I am quite new to this list, so forgive me my ignorance - but are there people on the list who are familiar with GDPR in countries such as Germany and France? Or could give me contact names?
Obviously there are differences in how the GDPR has been implemented despite the attempts at harmonisation. I am particularly interested in monitoring in the workplace and whether the legal basis for processing is best served by contractual terms or legitimate interest.

Many thanks
Susan Doe
