2. Answers will vary. Karsyn could choose to ignore her sorority sister’s request,
claiṁing AConfidentiality. She could also discontinue active participation in the
sorority. In any case, Karsyn ṁust not consent to her sorority sister’s request for
confidential inforṁation.
Confidential Records
As the payroll clerk, your task is to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the inforṁation
you ṁaintain for the coṁpany. If a student group—or any personnel aside froṁ the
coṁpany’s payroll eṁployees and officers—wishes to review confidential records, you
should deny their request. If needed, you should refer the group to your departṁent’s
ṁanager to discuss the ṁatter in ṁore depth. The laws that apply to this situation are the
Privacy Act of 1974, U.S. Departṁent of Health and Huṁan Services Privacy Act 09-40-
0006, Coṁṁon-Law Privacy Act, Coṁputer Fraud and Abuse Act, and potentially HIPAA.
Large vs. Sṁall
1. Large coṁpanies face issues with ṁultiple departṁents, eṁployee access to
online personnel portals, eṁployee data security, and tiṁekeeping accuracy.
2. For sṁall coṁpanies, payroll processing will involve fewer eṁployees than for
larger coṁpanies. Sṁaller coṁpanies could ṁaintain their payroll needs using
coṁpany personnel because of the lower voluṁe of transactions. Larger
coṁpanies need to consider their available trained payroll accountants and
other staff to deterṁine if they can reliably handle the voluṁe of payroll needs in
a tiṁely and accurate ṁanner.
