Description
As Facebook and other social networking sites have become more commonplace, the possibility that future employers will view these sites for information for hiring decisions is very real. We have researched the various employment laws and have determined that although there are no specific laws prohibiting employers from searching networking sites that employers can find themselves on dangerous grounds for allegations of discrimination and disparate treatment of applicants in violation of employment laws.
