Lifelong learning benefits both the employer and the employee by making a more productive employee. The biggest disadvantage of lifelong learning is the cost to the employer.
Informal monitoring is when a employer is making subtle judgment about how an employee is fitting into a workplace or noticing if that employee has difficulties.
yes
That is illegal.
no. absolutely not.
They most certainly can. Remember he/she was terminated for a reason and they want to keep the new employer from making the same mistake of wasting money on employee physicals, etc. Being honest is the best thing, but not to be mean.
no. absolutely not.

No, it's illegal. Don't be a docuhebag.
They can't take something that belongs to you, but you should not be making personal calls while on the job. You could be fired for that.
No it is not. It is the company that assumes the operational risks and rewards for being in business. Now if it is your friend that dashed and the employer can prove this then you may have other legal issues on your hands. This aside however the answer is NO, an employer can not require that an employee pay them for any such loss.
Yes and no, if an employer contributes to your Roth IRA directly the employer must report it as income to you. Since it is income they must also report it to uncle sam as taxable income and the employer will have to pay payroll taxes on the contribution. They can not pay into a Roth as the employer, so that answer is NO. Most employers will not want to deal with the potential IRS reporting nightmare this can have. That being said, the're companies that offer PDP, payroll deduction plans. These plans are employee funded through the employees paycheck. The funds can be used to fund any type of account, i.e Roth, IRA, 529 and so on. The Employer then sends one check monthly to the company of choice based on the amount each employee has withheld from thier individual pay checks, hence payroll deduction. If the employer is looking to offer this as a benefit to it's employee or key employee the employer would increase the employee's pay to match the amount the employer wishes to contribute to the employee. But ultimately it looks like the employee is making the contributions.
