The employee handbook where I work contains a clause stating the company has the right to search anything on the premises at its whim, in the name of security. This was lifted from boilerplate provided by an attorney and/or handbooks from other companies, and is apparently standard fare. In spite of concerns raised by the outgoing directors four years ago, the clause remains.
I was wondering if anybody was familiar with language from other employee handbooks that would accomplish whatever righteous purposes management is striving to grasp, be legally defensible in light of activist judgments, but not be repugnant to the Constitution.
