Fort Lauderdale Employment Law Attorneys
When you enter the workforce, you understand that you are giving up some of the rights you enjoy in your private life. You anticipate that you may not be able to say whatever comes into your mind or do whatever you feel like doing while you are at work.
But when you entered the workforce, you did not give up all of your rights. One of the rights you have not surrendered, at least not entirely - is your right to privacy.
An employer may not violate your right to privacy by engaging in any of the following acts:
- Disclosing private medical records
- Disclosing your disability status
- Setting up security cameras in a bathroom stall
- Public disclosure of other certain private and sensitive information
In recent years, our attorneys have represented several employees whose rights to privacy have been violated by their employers. In one case, an employer disclosed to an employee's co-workers the fact that she had spent time in a mental health facility. In another case, an employer actually went so far as to make a peep hole so he could watch female employees in the restroom.
These may seem like extreme examples, but situations like this occur every day throughout Florida and across the country. Our employment law attorneys aggressively seek full compensation for people injured by the wrongful and illegal acts of employers. If your employer has invaded your privacy and caused mental anguish of financial loss to you, we can help.
