Editorial Reviews
Review
“Privacy in the Workplace examines the legal doctrine of job-related privacy. Authors Jon D. Bible and Darien A. McWhirter note that until 20 years ago, this concept was barely recongized by law and almost unknown to employers. Now, however, numerous laws and court rulings have established the doctrine of workplace privacy: the protection of employees and job applicants from attempts by employers to learn information about them and to regulate their activities on and off the job. The 320-page book discusses how to balance employee privacy interests with business needs, with chapters on drug testing, honesty testing, and AIDS testing. While the focus is on private sector employment, Privacy contains sections on civil service laws and the Constitutional rights of public employees.”–
Book Description
The issue of workplace privacy is examined in this volume, which traces the concept of privacy from its 1890 recognition as a legal article to its current applications in employment law. In language that is substantially stripped of legal jargon, the authors provide an overview of employee screening, covering such topics as assessing job candidates, body and mind tests, on-the-job surveillance, and lifestyle activities. By discussing the balance between business needs and privacy, the book helps managers and workers appreciate each other's legal rights, and offers practical suggestions for avoiding legal pitfalls.
