The law generally states that employers must have a reasonable basis to search, and confine the search to non-personal items.
Visitation of personal items, like handbags, generally cannot be searched unless the employer has a valid reason to do so.
The employer must have reasonable doubt that the employee is dishonest or has contravened the code of conduct in the workplace.
Nothing in our law prevents an employer from adopting a workplace policy that enables the employer to search the employee or their belongings.
