| Abstract: | The question whether an employer can fire a person when he or she is discovered indulging in unorthodox or immoral, or even criminal behavior is discussed. The rights of the company and the rights of the worker are outlined and compared. The employer's legal latitude is summarized and is found to be not easy to fix. The importance of demonstration and clear causal links is emphasized. Law protecting the worker's private life is examined. Legal possibilities are analyzed. An unorthodox, questionable, or even immoral private life is usually no grounds for disciplinary action. |
