What is the name of your state? FLorida
Sorry, I could not determine which category to post this: My previous employer has 3 health care clinics. One has been closed (by the company because of $$$), one may be sold or closed, and the one I worked at is supposed to be closed down, unless they find a buyer. I left a few weeks ago for ethical reasons. As part of my employee file, copies of my paychecks, my social security card, and my driver's license, were kept in an unlocked desk drawer in an office that was freely accessible to all employees. We did not keep performance reviews or internal notes on the employees. My question is, what are my rights to keep my social secuirty card copy and driver's license copy safe if this clinic shuts down or is sold to a new owner? Do I have any rights to have my SS# destroyed? They already have a seedy history and I don't want my identity stolen. In 4-6 weeks, 8-10 people were hired/fired, half of which sit at the desk with the unlocked drawer and employee files, the other half still had full access to those files if they were mildly resourceful. But I think in Florida I have no rights for something like this, and I fear there is nothing I can do but wait for my identity to be stolen. South Florida is a hotbed for this kind of stuff. Any advice? If I can't get my ss# destroyed, how do I demand that those files be locked up? If they close down, do I have a right to witness the shredding of ss# copy some how or something?What is the name of your state?
