Generally, an employer can disclose private information only if the disclosure is required by law or if there is a legitimate business need.
What employee information is confidential? Personal Identifiable Information (PII): Social Security numbers, addresses, birth dates, and phone numbers. Medical Information: Protected under laws like HIPAA in the U.S. Financial Information: Bank details, salary, and tax information.
Your employer is legally obligated to keep certain employee records private. Employers tend to gather a lot of paperwork on employees, from employment applications and resumes to benefits forms, performance evaluations, disciplinary documentation, contact information, and even medical records.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996 establishes federal standards protecting sensitive health information from disclosure without patients consent. The US Department of Health and Human Services issued the HIPAA Privacy Rule to implement HIPAA requirements.
The Privacy Rule does not protect your employment records, even if the information in those records is health-related. In most cases, the Privacy Rule does not apply to the actions of an employer.
