If this is continuing I would explain to the officer that having him come to your workplace is causing you distress. Ask him politley if you can go to his station and discuss the matter with him there when you are not working.\nIf you are curteous and explain yourself he probably would be happy to accomidate you. Just make sure that you show up when you have made an appointment.

actually, yes they are. \nYour rights to privacy are not in full effect when at work.  Your employer also has a right to look at your email, internet useage, and monitor phone calls.

I think you are referring to the home office where you work. If that is the case, check the policies/guidelines which should be in a printed document for employees.\n\nAlso check employee rights in your State. Some states are "right to work" states and many states and/or companies have a policy that requires them to hold someone's job if they go to alcohol or drug treatment (detox) or if they are required by the courts to do certain things, i.e. D.U.I. class, jail time, revoked license, etc.\n\nGood luck and I hope you will not drive drunk again

you could talk about the progression of employee rights in the work place and reference the beginning of workers unions.  Or you could compare the rights of entry level positions to the rights of those in corporate or more professional postions.

OSHA grants employees several important rights. Among them are the right to complain to OSHA about safety and health conditions in their workplaces and, to the extent permitted by law, have their identities kept confidential from employers, contest the amount of time OSHA allows for correcting violations of standards, and participate in OSHA workplace inspections.\n\nPrivate sector employees who exercise their rights under OSHA can be protected against employer reprisal, as described in Section 11(c) of the OSH Act. Employees must notify OSHA within 30 days of the time they learned of the alleged discriminatory action. OSHA will then investigate, and if it agrees that discrimination has occurred, OSHA will ask the employer to restore any lost benefits to the affected employee. If necessary, OSHA can initiate legal action against the employer. In such cases, the worker pays no legal fees. The OSHA-approved state plans have parallel employee rights provisions, including protections against employer reprisal.

YES they can and they have the right to find out.If you are abusive and doing personal things at work,on thier TIME that thier paying you for.they could use it to fire you.NO joke.And also if it's illiegal it could be used as evidince in a court of law. And not even a Union can do anythig about it.because it,s concidered public.It's nothing to play around with.

This would depend upon the supervisor, the type of discrimination and the company.\nIf the supervisor is open and a “people person,” you can approach him or her directly.  If the supervisor is a company stooge, by all means avoid this.\nIf the discrimination is about something very minor, it will probably do no good to complain.  Usually these items get placed under “sour grapes” or “disgruntled employee” and nothing happens except a black mark in your records.  If the item is major, consider carefully all of the consequences before becoming a “whistle blower.”\nUsually you will need the help of a lawyer specializing in labor law.

The company owns all rights to anything that it costs them to do.  So if they pay someone to open and distribute the mail, they are entitled to do so.\n\nWe can expect no reasonable rights to privacy in the workplace, unless of course you own the business.\n\nI may be wrong, but I believe that even a letter marked "personal and confidential" if sent addressed to your employer can be opened by the employer.  \n\nIf need to receive mail that you don't want your wife/s.o. to find out about, go open a PO Box and keep the receipts at your office.

It's legal. What's illegal is if the possible employees get discriminated against because of their answers

Yes. Under the enhanced disclousure procedures any potential employer will get a police record search which will show any convictions, charges, cautions or suspisions. It would then be up to an employer if they wished to employ you. They are likely to ask the nature of the offecece, when it was and the background. Given it is a serious crime of violence they are likely to ask you about this before offering any employment as they have to be sure you are able and fit to work with children

The person should contact an attorney or legal aid.  I don't quite understand the question, but if a person was terminated from a job for a reason they feel isn't fair, then they do have rights.

Employee discipline records are never available no matter who you work for.  Personnel files are always confidential and generally can not be removed from the human resource department.  You may not like that answer now but you will when you start in the business world.

Don't contact anybody in the company to do something about it, save that for the attorney. HR is there to protect the company not to help the employee. They will start "shredding", getting stories right, conduct a token investigation, etc... The longer they are unaware the better. Let them drown in their own ego's. DON'T speak about it to ANYONE at work(the company has spies).  As instances happen,or shortly after, like on break, document what happened (who,what,when,where)(with who witnessed). Obtain names and contact info for all coworkers you can,and break it down into category's (victims, witnesses, offenders). \nContact some GOOD attorney with as much info you can give.\n\n\nAre the people being harassed of a certain class? (race,gender, age, disability, religion,sexual orientation,etc) if so its discrimination.\nIt has to be about money: it talks the loudest!, when it starts costing the company $ it gets the big people involved.\nStress may be a workers comp illness claim. $$\nI loath this typ of behavior.

In the U.S., it is not legal for an employer to ask that question.  You are not obligated to answer a question like that.

It's not legal. All police officers, in or out of uniform, have to show ID if asked.
