Company possible breaking FACTA laws and/or violation employee’s personal information
Over the course of the last few years I have found documents with all manner of a person’s personal information strewn all over the building. This information contains names, SSNs, addresses, phone numbers. I have found these in very public areas of the building, laying on desks, posted on walls, etc. I have also received emails containing other employee’s information as well, including their names, SSNs, addresses, phones numbers again on multiple times.
I have reported these events to HR staff and managers multiple times, but it keeps happening. The company seems to care very little for how accessible this information is to anyone in our building, or anyone entering, including non-employees. So far, I have taken it on myself to remove these documents from accessible areas, black out employee SSNs, shred documents laying around, place other documents in locked areas, return documents to HR, and much more.
I should also state that I am not a member of HR or management, I am a hourly employee, for all intents and purposes I am pretty much just the repair guy for the building.
Most recently, I found binders of employee records in an area of the building accessible to every employee, client, vendor, maint staff, cleaning crews, and any other person who enters our building. Included in this was copies of drivers licenses, SSN cards, addresses, names, phone numbers, medical information, bennifits information, and any other information an employer might have on employees. Also included were former employees. Literally 100s of people personal information. Also, were completed applications for employment with our company, including all those peoples personal information as well who were simply applying for jobs.
In the area I live, jobs are hard to come by, and especially in my field. I feel that if I push the issue any more I will become a “problematic” employee and they will find a reason to terminate me. The company does not have any issues with that, I have been asked several times in the past to target certain employees for termination before they have done anything warranting it that I am aware of.
I do not know what to do.
