I believe turning over this data by the employer without the employees consent is illegal, forbidden by the FCRA and privacy acts of 1974. I know the article you linked to claimed it was legal, but what this is telling me is that I should get employers to sign an NDA (not that they would, of course.)
So, yet another argument for starting a startup rather than being an employee.
- joezydeco 11y agoTalk to someone that's in the public sector. Maybe a local public works employee or the teacher at your local high school. Their salary is public record and has always been that way. It was just a lot more difficult to find it until recently. As for private businesses, I've never been aware of a law that says they can't hand the information out. They tend not to do it because of internal reasons like not letting the competition see it or keeping everyone from arguing about each other's comp all day instead of working. The FCRA allowed debt collectors a way to tunnel through companies that resisted cooperating.
