Is employee productivity surveillance (in the case of office jobs) an ethical thing?

I'm not sure how theoretical vs practical the principles of ethics are, but I think surveillance on employees may be theoretically okay - you're paying them to work, you "should" have the right to determine if they're actually doing their jobs - but not necessarily okay in practice - it's rather authoritarian/Orwellian and may compromise employee morale.
