What is the name of your state? Louisiana..
I am involved with a coworker. We have been together for about 9 months now and have not disclosed this fact to our employer. We are not sure what his reaction will be if and when we he does find out, but my question is if there is anything legally he could do about the fact. I was previously under the impression that he could not fire either of us because it was not forbidden in company policy to date a coworker, but I have since read about "at will employment" on this site and know that he can fire us whenever for whatever. If he does find out and fires one (or both) of us, will we be entitled to collect unemployment?
Also, what right does he have to inquire about our personal lives and what we do during our personal time? Every time I put in for vacation days, or we take off of work on the same day, I get the "third degree" about what we are doing, where we are going, etc. If we go to lunch together, we get asked where we went, why we were together, and we are given a hard time about it. Does he have the right to demand to know all of our personal business? I'm sure he probably has suspicions that we are dating but are we obligated to tell him? I am looking for a new job but because I am in school, I haven't been successful in finding anything to work with my schedule and that will pay me as much. I'm just wondering if I have to just put up with the intrustions and badgering us with questions or if I should tell him he has to stay out of my personal life.
