Employment termination privacy? |
My friend was fired, and her mother also works at the same place. Is there any privacy law or regulation stating that the HR person had no right to tell her mother why she was fired? This HR person is either incompetent or has not been properly trained. Information in an employee鈥檚 personnel file is confidential and may only be disclosed on what we call a 鈥渘eed-to-know鈥?basis. The disclosure mentioned in this question violated the terminated employee鈥檚 right of privacy. Whether this person can sue the former employer or the HR person will depend upon the privacy laws of the particular state where all of this took place. Yes, I'm sure there is, but I don't know what it is. Breach of confidentialty or something. The mother and the daughter are employees, there is no positions in any organisation called "mother" or "daughter". I think no HR rule stipulate to inform the mother employee when the daughter employee is fired.. if the mother given personally guaranteed the performance of the daughter then the mother can be informed verbally before the firing. |
