Post: desk / cubicle privacy

Posted by eris on 10/04/06
Can anyone tell me if it is legal for a manager to pick papers off desks and read them thouroughly even if its established the paper is private? I once inadvertenly left a school application ( my daughters) on my desk and caught my boss reading it through - she also did this when it came time to reevaluate my health care benefits (provided through company), doesn't that violate HIPPA? also she entered a director's office and went through a box marked personal. Recently she entered a cubicle and read through resumes that are not for any position she oversees. I have since tried to keep everything at home that I wouldn't want anyone to see -but I found her the other day going through my drawers and looking at some birthday presents some co coworkers gave me. do I have recourse??
