Don't employers require employees' permission to share their data?
- Method-X 5y agoNot saying I agree but (I think) the issue is that salary data is technically owned by the employer and not the employee.
- t0mas88 5y agoThe salary number itself yes, but it's only useful when linked to the identity of the employee. And in places with sane privacy laws that's illegal to do without the employee's consent.
- vfclists 5y agoIt is your presonal information and it is not owned by your employer. Your employer may have some right to share aggregated data, but not data that identifies you.
- slumdev 5y agoPremeditated data breaches like this are covered under the boilerplate language in your employment contract -- "sharing data with our partners" and other such nonsense.
