Do I have the right to veiw security footage as an employee?
My manager said that I had people behind the desk while I was working at my hotel job. However, not once have I ever had anyone behind the desk and since there are cameras at there I would like to veiw the footage to prove I never had anyone behind the desk.

Unless such a viewing is permitted under the terms of a union agreement or employment contract, you have no rights an an employee to view the security footage. The fact is that a company can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination).
