Question:

An employee submitted an expense report that included costs from a cell phone issued by his company. The company wanted to check the phone to verify information that the employee had provided and, because the employee was in the hospital, they obtained access to his office, as well as a key to his desk drawer, in order to look for the phone. Though they did not find the phone, they did find a pellet gun and ammunition. The employee was fired for violating the employer’s weapons ban. Did the supervisors violate the employee’s right to privacy? Is the fact that the employee shared the desk with other employees relevant?
