Abstract

Personal integrity is closely connected to such concepts as the individual's opportunities for personal development, the possibilities individuals have to determine the image the outside world has of them, and the possibilities that exist to live free from demands and pressures of outsiders. An employer may wish to investigate an applicant's suitability for a job by asking rather personal questions. In this context, it can be of interest to know how and to what extent "incorrect" information may be subject to sanctions. Furthermore, it can be of interest to know whether personal integrity limits the obligation of loyalty to the employer. Finally, it can be of interest to know what information may be registered according to the law and collective agreement.
