I agree with this, I think. I would stipulate that one's boss has should be able to track your movements whether or agree to it or not, so long as he notifies you of it. Just to clarify what I mean by that, because that's an ugly sentence, if the employer has notified the employee, the employee can't say "no you can't track me and I'm still going to work here", that is, the employee doesn't have some mystical right to work at that job. If those are presented as the terms of employment, the prospective employee has the opportunity to say "Okay, I'll find some other job then, thanks, bye."
I also don't see a difference between tracking, audio recording or video recording, in principle. Clearly, as NIMN pointed out, these things are probably progressively more invasive, but if you believe one is acceptable, I don't see why all three wouldn't be.
