Explanation: Employers are legally allowed to check and review employee email as long as they provide a written policy informing employees of the potential for email searches. Without this written policy, employers could legally file concerns about invasion of employee privacy. Answer choice A is incorrect because immediate notification from the legal department of impending review would not be sufficient. Answer choice B is incorrect because evidence of employee wrongdoing is too late for an employer to implement a search policy. Answer choice D is incorrect because notification is required. Although employers technically own the emails that employees send and receive, they are not advised to search emails without a written search policy. Answer choice E is incorrect because employers are allowed to check and review employee emails.

Explanation: Social Security, state income tax, and federal income tax are considered statutory deductions. Union dues are not considered statutory deductions, although they may be provided for in some states.

Explanation: The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 led to the creation of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). This set of accounting standards was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. For decades, the AICPA's standards were mandatory for publicly held companies in the United States. In the past few years, however, the Securities Exchange Commission has allowed some businesses to use the standard created by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Explanation: This answer choice is correct by virtue of being wrong: the Immigration Reform and Control Act does not require employees to favor American citizens in hiring. (In fact, this is more likely to be illegal, since the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes it illegal to discriminate against someone based on national origin. That is a broad definition, but this particular activity could certainly fall within the category of Title VII prohibitions.) The Immigration Reform and Control Act does, however, afford the following: provide amnesty for all illegal immigrants that had been in the United States for at least four years, make employers responsible for providing documentation to prove the legal immigration status of their employees, and provide amnesty for agricultural workers who have worked in the United States for many years.

Explanation: The 1965 amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 established that the United States gives preferential treatment to those prospective immigrants who have special skills. Until these amendments were passed, some nationalities received preferential treatment. The 1965 amendments made it illegal to use national origin, race, or heritage as a factor in immigration decisions.
