Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - Need some help with something called the Fairness Act

Larry_OHF · 01-27-2003, 05:34 PM

I have seen employment applications or business guidelines in my history of employment where a specified rule is that you never divulge your earnings of you your paycheck to an associate worker, under penalty of diciplinary action against you. I hear that a law called the Fairness Act names this action as illigal. A manager can never tell his employee that he cannot share information such as earnings if he wants to.

Now...I do ont know the details of this law, nor why so many businesses continue to hang the threat over our heads that we will get our asses kicked if we don't do what they say.

Can somebody help me out here?
