Inspector wins case over pay envelope access in law
Chief Industrial Magistrate rules on whether an industrial inspector may compel an employee to reveal contents of his pay envelope after wages. Francis Dunleavy, inspector under the Industrial Arbitration Act, charged George Wiles of Belmore for obstructing him May 26, 1933 at United Motors Limited. Wiles refused to open the pay envelope or disclose its contents, arguing the inspector’s power to question did not entail a search or obligatory answers. The case examines the limits of an inspector’s examination power versus employee privacy.
