1. Answers will vary. Some concerns include data privacy and integrity in the software
br br br br br br br br br br br br

, 2. Answers will vary. Karsyn could choose to ignore her sorority sister’s request,
b r b r b r b r b r b r b r b r b r b r b r




claiming b r




Confidentiality. She could also discontinue active participation in the sorority. In any b r b r b r b r b r b r b r b r b r b r b r




b r case, b r Karsyn must not consent to her sorority sister’s request for confidential information.
br br br br br br br br br br br




ConfidentialRecords br




As the payroll clerk, your task is to protect the privacy and confidentiality of the information you
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br




b r maintain for the company. If a student group—or any personnel aside from the company’s payroll
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br




b r employees and officers—wishes to review confidential records, you should deny their request. If
br br br br br br br br br br br br




b r needed, you should refer the group to your department’s manager to discuss the matterin more depth.
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br




b r The laws that apply to this situation are the Privacy Act of 1974, U.S. Departmentof Health and Human
br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br br




b r Services Privacy Act 09-40-0006, Common-Law Privacy Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and
br br br br br br br br br br br br




b r potentiallyHIPAA. br




Large vs. Small br br




1. Large companies face issues with multiple departments, employee access to online
br br br br br br br br br br




b r personnel portals, employee data security, and timekeeping accuracy. br br br br br br br




2. For small companies, payroll processing will involve fewer employees than for larger
br br br br br br br br br br br




b r companies. Smaller companies could maintain their payroll needs using company br br br br br br br br br




b r personnel because of the lower volume of transactions. Larger companies need to consider
br br br br br br br br br br br br




b r their available trained payroll accountants and other staff to determine if theycan reliably
br br br br br br br br br br br br




b r handle the volume of payroll needs in a timely and accurate manner.
