Yes, in most states, with the exception of a few, an employer has the right to search an employee's personal belongings under many circumstances.

If a credible employee reports the suspected employee of a theft, the employer may have cause to search the belongings of the employee. As long as the employer remains consistent with its policies regarding searches, the employer remains in the clear for most searches of any employee.
Can an employer in a California office or plant search an employee's desk or locker or purse without the employee's permission?
It would depend on where you work. An employer should have a form of an 'employees handbook' which outlines the rules. In most jobs, an employer can search an employee's work area because that belongs to the employer, but a locker is usually a designated space of the employee and a purse is the private property of the employee. However, there are exceptions based on the security and safety requirements of the employer, that is why it would make a difference where you work and what the rules for employees are. It would make a big difference if you worked in a secure facility, or a place with hazards for the employee or the public. When you go to work for someone, you should be provided the rules that apply to your employment; if you've never received that, get it now. Remaining ignorant of the facts leaves you vulnerable to victimization. If you have the rules and know the rules and follow the rules, you will always know where you stand.

Collective bargaining agreements may also specify conditions and circumstances.
