What is the name of your state? New Jersey
One of office employees accessed the company computer system and he prints out the company pay scale every month to see who makes what, a few days ago he gave field employee a copy of this, he then went out and told everyone he knows what they make and made a few jokes about some guys making more than others..........A few of the guys were ticked that he new this information and called the office to complain.......He was then called in the office and ask did he have this paper, he lied and said he didn't, he eventually confessed and told he received it from the office employee, when the office employee was asked, he said he didn't know what they were talking about and said he hasn't seen a pay scale in over 8 months( I personally know this is a lie), the company then fired the field employee and not the office employee...........My question is: Is this legal?
