Background

Before addressing the ethical issue of privacy, let’s look at some general information of employee handbooks. In fact, most companies and business owners need to provide their workers with a handbook that spells out the company’s benefits, policies, procedures and more. Although the employee handbook will reflect the company’s procedures and policies, some of the topics that are included are:

–At-will employment;
–Hiring;
–Pay and payroll;
–Workdays and hours;
–Performance evaluations;
