Employee Privacy Rights in the Workplace Employees must have the right to phone security, application confidentiality, the right to no sexual harassment, and the right to not have any personal questions asked that do not pertain to work. Employee privacy laws are limited, which makes it easy for employers to invade the privacy of its employees. Some things are personal and should remain that way. In today’s working environment, employers need to reevaluate their techniques, approach this ongoing situation, and find alternative solutions to this problem. There are limits to everything in life, and there needs to be limits set on employee privacy laws.
In other industries where employees have desks or offices they tend to expect more privacy in that space given the fact that they do their work on their own little private space/area and nobody is out there to oversee that other than the coworkers.

Non compete agreements are defined as agreements between employees and employers so that an employee cannot compete with its employer after they are no longer working for them [ (Noncompete Agreement, 2011) ]. Non compete agreements are used to protect companies so that no one else can use their secrets, customers or any other information that can be used to compete against them.
