Case Study 3 DISCHARGED FOR OFF-DUTY BEHAVIOUR The following case illustrates the off-duty privacy claim of an employee and management's right to uphold the reputation of the company.

All agreed that John's off-duty behaviour constituted a serious violation of the company's code of conduct for employees, which read, in part, "Employee off-duty behaviour in no way should reflect unfavourably upon the company, its employees, or sales of any educational materials."

Besides, he said, "The purchases were made as jokes for a stag party
