The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) General Counsel’s Division of Advice has found an employer did not violate the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) when it fired an employee based on the mistaken belief that she divulged confidential wage information. Centura, 27-CA-234214 (Adv. Mem. June 24, 2019, released July 16, 2019). As the employee was applying for higher-paid positions with the employer, the employer received an anonymous tip that the employee disclosed to a colleague employee salaries information she obtained in her HR role. After the employer had fired the employee for the unauthorized disclosure, it emerged that the employee did not make the alleged disclosure.
