Summary
  1. "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. 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." "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."--BOOK JACKET.
