Workplace privacy is not simply a theoretical legal issue but is a
matter of basic human dignity. Employers in a number of countries
reportedly, and, it appears, in increasing numbers, are deploying
'human resource policies' which may or may not be illegal. In many
cases they are not, at present unlawful, though they may reflect
dubious management practices. These policies include drug testing
of employees, surveillance of staff and their communications,
attempts to censor the freedom of speech of employees, psychometric
or personality testing, and requirements to provide intimate health
information irrelevant to work in order to obtain employment or
promotion.
This book, the first on the subject in any jurisdiction,
examines in a rigorous and open-minded fashion, the emergence of
these policies in the modern employment context and the gradually
developing legal response. Adopting a human rights perspective, the
author demonstrates that several legal systems are now transposing
human rights law from the public sphere into the employment
relationship in order to protect the individual rights of job
candidates and employees.
The human right of privacy is one of the cornerstone rights
recognised in the employment context, and is the focus of this
book. The book deals with the law as it presently stands in the UK,
France, the USA and Canada and includes a careful analysis of the
potential impact of the Human Rights Act 1999.
