Is solicitation from employment illegal?
|
We are short handed at work and my manager has been going around to other employers in the same field, asking their employees if they'd like to come work for our company. Isn't that illegal? You can't just go around doing that can you? Any details would be appreciated.

Not illegal as long as it doesn't interfere with the work day. Then you can claim harrassment and a couple of off handed things. That is exactly what the major head hunters do when they are trying to retain certain executive officers to go work for another corporation.

Why do you care?
There are not laws on the books telling employers how they must (or can't) find new employees. This is supposed to be a free country, isn't it?
It seems like if you are short handed you would welcome a manager that is a go getter. Usually what you would get is a manager that just dumps on you, the current employee.
But back to my initial question to you, why do you care how the company finds employees? Unless you are the manager it really would not affect you at all.
Do your job to the best of your ability and leave the managing and laws to the managers and lawyers.
Good luck

Unethical maybe, but I don' t think it is illegal.
Perhaps they worked an agreement with the other employers?

That is what big time head hunters do all the time. It is how the CEOs of major organizations get hired. No it is not illegal. In the case of your company, your competitors know that there is a shortage of skilled labor in your business. If they want to protect their workforce, they are probably making sure they are paying the highest wages in the industry and offering great benefits, and perhaps a few other perks.

No, it is legal. I really can't think of a circumstance where it would not. "Poaching" happens all the time externally with companies going directly to employees of competitors AND internally with managers aggressively recruiting employees to transfer from other departments (not necessarily for promotions). Internal poaching is sometimes frowned upon in companies.
