Chapter Five - On-the-Job Rights and Conduct Women employees possess many on-the-job rights, including rights of privacy. These privacy rights are sometimes violated by executives, security personnel, private investigators, and fellow workers. The law allows employees to recover damages under a variety of legal theories for unlawful interference into a woman's personal relationships and off-duty conduct, including suits for invasion of privacy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and wrongful discharge, among other causes of action. Areas such as personal appearance rules, romantic relationships with co-workers, and related subjects are typically protected by the U.S. Constitution. This chapter will discuss a variety of areas impacting female workers and will suggest strategies to overcome such problems.
