claiming Confidentiality. She could also discontinue active participation in the
sorority. In any case, Karsyn must not consent to her sorority sister’s request for
confidential information.
Confidential Records
As the payroll clerk, your task is to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the
information you maintain for the company. If a student group—or any personnel aside
from the company’s payroll employees and officers—wishes to review confidential records,
you should deny their request. If needed, you should refer the group to your department’s
manager to discuss the matter in more depth. The laws that apply to this situation are the
Privacy Act of 1974, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Privacy Act 09-40-
0006, Common-Law Privacy Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and potentially HIPAA.
Large vs. Small
1. Large companies face issues with multiple departments, employee access to
online personnel portals, employee data security, and timekeeping accuracy.
2. For small companies, payroll processing will involve fewer employees than for
larger companies. Smaller companies could maintain their payroll needs using
company personnel because of the lower volume of transactions. Larger
companies need to consider their available trained payroll accountants and other
staff to determine if they can reliably handle the volume of payroll needs in a
timely and accurate manner.
