This is how lawyers make a lot of money. You might also talk to your state's employment security agency.

If it's something that can't be proven by continuing to do your work and be ignored, then I would ask to speak to your immediate supervisor and explain the situation and that you are worried it will affect the company and ask for their advice. That way, they know you are aware of it, that it is untrue, and that you are concerned about how it makes the company look.

Actually they really can not do much of anything. A Personnel Manager told me once, that really all he can do is verify a person worked for the company. If, they were to say anything bad, the Dictatorship allows the person to sue the company. Now, with that said, we can assume there a Company Code/Understanding in the business world, that what said behind closed doors stays there. IF, you see what I say.

It depends on the items that are missing.  If it's money that's missing and being embezzeled, just go past your superiors and straight to the cops.  If it's company property that's missing such as office supplies or sales merchandise and you've gone through the proper channels then that's about all you can do.  I would recommend that you document everything you notice.  Make sure to include dates, times and names if possible.  Then you would have it as backup if anybody were to try and accuse you.

Not unless the company who issued the policy makes this knowledge public. If you have this kind of worry..perhaps a private investigator would be good idea..and have him check up on the person or person you suspect of having the policy

This is a difficult one because the law only protects against "unreasonable" search and seizure.  Meaning, you can't do it just out nowhere.\n\nBut there was reason.  Property was missing, and you could have refused.\n\nHere's more info:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_and_seizure

The lawyer was correct there is nothing in the Privacy Act to do anything about it.  There may be other courses of action to take if the person getting fired feels they are being fired because of discrimination.  Another course of action can be to go to the bosses boss.  In most companies management is required to sign confidentiality agreements. (i.e. They are not to disclose anything that happens at work with people who are not employed by the company.) These are used mostly to prevent company secrets from leaking to competitors. If the person who leaked the information to the non employed person has signed one or if there is a company confidentiality policy and letter to the right person might get the leaker fired.

tell them to put in writing, this normally will quench an over zealous company; ask them by detailing exactly what you have allegedly done. As mentioned criminal acts can still be pursued with no time limits at all.

When a life insurance policy is owned by someone other than the insured, the must prove an "insurable interest" at the time the policy is applied for. Also, even the policies that are guaranteed issue (no medical underwriting) still require the signature of the insured. If your signature is forged that would be grouds for the insurance company to void the policy.

Technically you would be in breach of contract however as nothing in writing there is very little employer could do. Employer would have to prove they had suffered financial loss and wouldn't really be worth the effort to contest

PLEASE CHECK WITH A LAWYER.

Talk to a lawyer. Most likely, to properly sue the company, you will have to serve the Resident Agent. If you serve anyone else, the case will likely be thrown out.

If your company has a Human Resources or Personel Department then that is where I would start with my complaint.  They will investigate the problen and decide if it has merit or not.  While you may feel that they will only side with the companies action, they are actually required by law to look into these types of compliants fairly and equally.  If you can not get a satisfactory solution within the companies system then I would reccomend your state Labor Board and have them investigate.  I would not bother with a lawyer until I have exhausted these methods first.  Follow through with instructions given by the Human Resouces or Labor Board before getting a lawyer because if you don't their defense will be we offered a solution and you did not attempt to follow it, so we have done all we can do.  That defense will hold up for them and you will loose. Do what you have to do and I am sure that you will get the matter resolved.

You may want to check your employee hand book, or talk to a representative in your human resourse department.  But generally if the company has a smoking band in effect for the building and its property, you can be written up for smoking if your cigarette is not put out prior to stepping on company property.  It does not matter if you are on the clock or not, but simpily you are an employee of that company and you are responsible for not only knowing, but also understanding policies and procedures as well as their code of ethics on and off the job.  \nIn your question you mentioned that the employee was reentering the property to talk to a supervisor.  In that employees defence, the supervisor should have mentioned that there is no smoking on company property and asked that person to put out their cigarette.  If this did not happen then the supervisor can not write up an employee with out writting themself up for not giving atleast a warning first.\nAgain this follows company procedures, under the title of disciplinary actions.  Good luck fighting this.  Hope I helped.

Logically, your employer has nothing to do with somebody losing a laptop. If the laptop belonged to the company, for sure the employer is not "letting" others lose his property, unfortunately it happens. \nIf somebody else lost the laptop that the company gave you to work with - then it's your loss.\nIf somebody else lost their laptop and it had your information on it - if you want to sue, then sue the person who lost the laptop.
