Complex privacy requirements — both new and existing — apply to each aspect of the employment relationship, from hiring, through employment, to termination and beyond. Define privacy issues and identify which workplace rules govern each situation. Understand privacy requirements that relate to hiring activities such as background checks, drug tests and medical examinations; employment situations such as searches of company and employee private property, and employee use of social media; and termination activities such as misconduct investigations.
