Surely the fact that accepting bribes is illegal would implictly mean that employees could be fired for doing so? I can't imagine that adding a bit of extra language to the employment contract saying "don't do illegal thing x" is going to stop people from doing it any more than the fact that x is illegal in the first place.

Adding laws about bribery demands new legal machinery. I was wondering whether the need for that can be bypassed by piggy backing on contract law.
