Are there any rules regarding discussing a member of staff's employment with other staff members? I know one of the managers has been discussing another employee's employment matters with her "friend" who is also a member of staff. I am wondering whether she has breached any rules and if so what they are and what the consequences of that might be?

Jen, There is an implied mutual trust and confidentiality in all contracts of employment, if a clause does not exist. I would look at your contracts and rules and see what it says regarding confidentiality and take it from there. Their actions is certainly a breach of confidentiality, and as its a manager, i would say its more serious, as they should know better. Investigate, and then take potential disciplinary action. Adrian
