Treatment in HR
Ethics and Fair Treatment at
Work
 Ethics
 The principles of conduct governing an individual or a

your conduct should be.
 Ethical behavior depends on the person’s frame of
reference.

 Judging something as good or bad, right or wrong, better
or worse.
 Moral standards (Morality)
 Society’s accepted standards for behaviors that have
serious consequences to its well-being.
 Behaviors that cannot be established or changed by
decisions of authoritative bodies.
 Behaviors that override self-interest.

 Is it right?
 Who will be affected?
 Does it fit the company’s values?
 How will it “feel” afterwards?
 How will it look in the newspaper?
 Will it reflect poorly on the company?

company’s employees share.
 How is culture is revealed?
 Ceremonial events
 Written rules and spoken commands.
 Office layout
 Organizational structure
 Dress codes
The Manager’s Role in

 Publish a corporate ethics code
 Use signs and symbols to signal the importance of
values.
 Provide physical (the firm’s rewards) support for
values.
 Incentive plan, appraisal system, disciplinary procedures
 Use stories to illustrate values.
 Stories can illustrate important company values
 Organize rites and ceremonies reinforcing values
 Graduating from a management development course,
etc.
HR’s Role in Fostering Ethics and Fair
Treatment
 Why treat employees fairly?
 “They’re not employees, they’re people”
 Management guru Peter Drucker
 Avoidance of employee litigation
 Enhanced employee commitment
 Enhanced satisfaction with the organization, with jobs, and with
leaders
 Increased organizational citizenship behaviors
HR Ethics Activities

steps that can be taken..
 Staffing and selection
 Fostering the perception of fairness in the processes of recruitment and
hiring of people.

procedures used
 Training
 How to recognize ethical dilemmas.
 How to use ethical frameworks (such as codes of conduct) to resolve
problems.
 How to use HR functions (such as interviews and disciplinary practices)
in ethical ways.
HR Ethics Activities (cont’d)
 Performance appraisal
 Appraisals that make it clear the company adheres to
high ethical standards by measuring and rewarding
employees who follow those standards.
 Reward and disciplinary systems
 The organization swiftly and harshly punishes unethical
conduct.
 Workplace aggression and violence
 Taking care that HR actions do not foster perceptions of
inequities that translate into dysfunctional behaviors by
employees.
 Could be real or perceived inequities
Building Two-Way
Communications
 Perceptions of fair treatment depend on:
 Engagement—involving individuals in the decisions that
affect them by asking for their input and allowing them to
refute the merits of others’ ideas and assumptions
 Explanation—ensuring that everyone involved and
affected understands why final decisions are made and
the thinking that underlies the decisions
 Expectation clarity—making sure everyone knows up
front by what standards they will be judged and the
penalties for failure.
Employee Discipline and
Privacy
 Basis for a fair and just discipline process
 Clear rules and regulations
 Define workplace issues
 Theft, destruction of co. property, alcohol & drugs,
insubordination
 Inform employees
 Employee handbook or new hire orientation
 A system of progressive penalties
 The range and severity of the penalty is a function of the
offense and number of occurrences.
 An appeals process
 The right of the employee to grieve the decision helps to
ensure that supervisors mete out discipline fairly and
equitably.
Disciplining an Employee
 Does the facts support the charge of employee wrongdoing?
 Were the employee’s due process rights protected?
 Was the employee warned of disciplinary consequences?
 Was a rule violated and was it “reasonably related” to the efficient
and safe operation of the work environment?
 Was the matter fairly and adequately investigated before
administering discipline?
 Did the investigation produce substantial evidence of misconduct?
 Have rules, orders, or penalties been applied evenhandedly?
 Is the penalty reasonably related to the misconduct and to the
employee’s past work history?
 Did the employee have the right to counsel?
 Did anger, hearsay, or personal impression affect the decision?
Discipline without Punishment
(Nonpunitive Discipline)
1. Issue an oral reminder.
2. Should another incident arise within six weeks,
issue a formal written reminder, a copy of
which is placed in the employee’s personnel
file.
3. Give a paid, one-day “decision-making leave.”
4. If no further incidents occur in the next year, the
one-day paid suspension is purged from the
person’s file.
If the behavior is repeated, the next step is
dismissal.
Employee Privacy
 Employee privacy violations upheld by courts:
 Intrusion (locker room and bathroom surveillance)
 Publication of private matters
 Disclosure of medical records
 Appropriation of an employee’s name or likeness
 Actions triggering privacy violations:
 Background checks
 Monitoring off-duty conduct and lifestyle
 Drug testing
 Workplace searches
 Monitoring of workplace
Employee Privacy (cont’d)
 What do employers monitor about employees: (More
predominant since 9/11)
 E-mail activity
 Internet use
 Telephone calls
 Employers monitor employees to:
 Improve productivity.
 Protect from computer viruses
 Detect leaks of confidential information
 Guard against liability for illegal acts and harassment suits
caused by employee misuse
Restrictions on Workplace
Monitoring
 The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA)
 The “business purpose exception” permits employers to
monitor communications if they can show a legitimate
business reason for doing so.
 The “consent exception” allows employers to monitor
communications if they have their employees’ consent to
do so.
 Common-law provides protections against invasion of
privacy.
Managing Dismissals
 Dismissal
 Involuntary termination of an employee’s employment
with the firm.
 Most dismissals start with bad hiring decisions
 Terminate-at-will rule
 Without a contract, the employee can resign for any
reason, at will, and the employer can similarly dismiss the
employee for any reason (or no reason), at will.
 Limitations on “terminate-at-will”
 Violation of public
 Implied contract
 Good faith
Conclusion
Manager’s Human Resource
decisions often trigger ethical
issues. All managers thus need
to understand the basics of
ethics, and of the ethical
dimensions of their Human
Resource decisions.
