Louisiana is a one-party recording state, which means that only one party to the conversation (you, if you are there to hear the conversation) must agree to be recorded.

Can an employer legally record phone conversations?
== == Not to be generic, but federal, state and even local law may affect this (not legal advise, blah, blah, blah) USUALLY an employer needs to let the employee know that they may record their phone conversations (i.e. verbally, a policy manual, etc.), but again, check the individual law where you live. I concur with the previous answer. You should also know that anyone has a right to record his or her own conversations. Any conversations you have with your employer may be legally recorded. Check company policy and confirm if you have entered into any agreements with your employer to allow such practice. Information may also vary state-to-state.

First, you cannot record conversations over the phone, most states deem it a felony.

Many states apply the same criteria to face-to-face recorded conversations as they do to phone conversations. It will depend on your state laws and, in the case of interstate phone conversations, what the state law of the out-of-state party may be.
