My assistant manager has been telling my co workers about my work performance. She'll tell them about how bad of a job I do, what I do wrong and that I always leave work for others when It's not true. She only says these things behind my back and has never mentioned it to me in the past. Does it fall into any employee privacy laws?

You just need to confront her about this and ask her if she is trying to harass you into quitting by making your coworkers dislike you? I don't know about privacy unless it was "fact", if it's not fact it's SLANDER and she shouldn't be discussing it with other employees, that's not in her job description, she can discuss it with you, or her superiors, not her coworkers. If I was her boss I'd fired her as a troublemaker.

I would not confront her, but I would try to document as much as possible see if you have any willing parties to back you up in this and go straight to your human relations department about harassment and slander.
And yes it could be a legal issue.. If you were to quit your job and file for unemployment because of unfair work practices or hostile work place it would open it up to a whole new ball game.

There aren't any laws about privacy in terms of your job performance.

Sit down, have an open talk with other party, get it worked out and move on.

Depends on your company policy. But you could sue for slander
