Employees have some rights to a degree of privacy in the workplace. Based on these rights, employees may not be victims of over-intrusive monitoring. 

For instance, employers typically may not wiretap their employees telephone conversations and voice mail messages. In some cases, employers may wiretap these conversations as long as they warn their employees. In other cases, employers may wiretap conversations if they reasonably suspect theft or some other crime is being committed. 

If you or anyone you know has questions about your privacy rights in the workplace, contact the Houston employment attorneys of the Ross Law Group at 800-634-8042.

The state of Texas added about 32,500 nonfarm payroll jobs in April. According to data from the Texas Workforce Commission, the state has gained nearly 100,000 jobs since the new year. 

The job additions are significant given that the state lost about 350,000 jobs in 2009. Despite the increase in jobs, the Texas unemployment rate increased to 8.3 percent, compared with the national average of 9.9 percent.

Many employees are subject to hostile work environments. However, some employees are not aware that they have a hostile work environment case. 

While hostile work environments may be the result of race, gender, age, or disability dicrimination, they can also be caused by a number of other factors. These factors could include demotions, workload increases, or limited opporutnities. 

If you believe you are working in a hostile work environment, contact the Houston employment lawyers of the Ross Law Group at 800-634-8042.
