                            EMPLOYMENT LAW



                    CHAPTER 7. EMPLOYEE PRIVACY AND AUTONOMY

                       PART   1. PROTECTION OF EMPLOYEE PRIVACY

  § 7.06. Wrongful Employer Intrusions

  Ohio, 2020. Com. (h) quot. in sup. Former and current employees sued employer and administrator of
  workplace drug-testing programs, alleging that defendants violated plaintiffs' privacy when they
  required employees, on threat of termination, to submit to a urinalysis test while being directly observed
  by a same-sex monitor. The trial court granted defendants' motion to dismiss. The court of appeals
  reversed. This court reversed, holding that plaintiffs failed to state a claim for invasion of privacy,
  because they provided urine samples or acted in good faith to produce samples after being informed of
  the nature of the test. Citing Restatement of Employment Law § 7.06 and Restatement Second of Torts §
  892A(1), the court explained that consent was an absolute defense to an invasion-of-privacy claim, and,
  in this case, plaintiffs' consented to the purported invasion of privacy by providing or attempting to
  provide samples. Lunsford v. Sterilite of Ohio, L.L.C., 165 N.E.3d 245, 254.



         CHAPTER 8. EMPLOYEE OBLIGATIONS AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

  § 8.01. Employee Duty of Loyalty to the Employer

  C.A.7, 2021. Cit. in ftn. Start-up company and its founder filed a claim for legal malpractice against
  company's former attorney after attorney obtained an arbitration award against them for years of unpaid
  wages, alleging that they would not have been liable for the award if he had not advised them to enter
  into an illegal agreement with him to defer his compensation. The district court granted attorney's
  motion to dismiss. This court affirmed the district court's determination that company and founder failed
  to show proximate cause by plausibly pleading that they would have taken a different course of action
  that would have avoided their liability to attorney if attorney had not recommended the agreement. In
  making its decision, the court cited Restatement of Employment Law § 8.01 in noting that it was rare but
  not completely unprecedented for an employer to sue its own employee for negligent acts taken within
  the scope of his or her employment. UFT Commercial Finance, LLC v. Fisher, 991 F.3d 854, 856.
