Explanation / Answer

According to federal law, an employer can listen to the phone calls of the employees as long as they are calls related to work and must hang up immediately once they recognise it as a personal cal. They can even listen to personal calls if the employee knows that the employer is listening to their calls. Hence Bolivar can listen to the phone calls as long as he wants only if he notifies employees first that he is going to do so.
