ABSTRACT
Workplace personal concerns affecting individual employment rights generally involve exercising certain duties, choices, or rights along with the employer's accommodation of these. Personal concerns may arise out of jury or witness duty, voting time, whistleblowing, dress and grooming codes, spousal policies, nepotism, third party representation, performance evaluations, name changes, identification tags, religious accommodation, privacy misconduct, and language requirements. Voting is a general society obligation to which individual employment rights extend. It affects speech, beliefs, and associational interests. Employer spousal policies may encompass various prohibitions. They may restrict or deny employment with the same employer because one is or becomes husband and wife. This may result in a failure to hire, transfer to another department, or termination. Nepotism is the practice of favoring relatives over others. As an individual employment right, it affects associational considerations prohibiting or restricting working relationships with relatives similar to spousal policies.
