Employees' paychecks are an open book

Overview
Answer: You'll have to use persuasion rather than any legal avenues to change the paycheck-distribution policy. There is no law that prohibits your employer's questionable practice, said Jeffrey Jones, a labor-and-employment lawyer with Fisher & Phillips in Orlando. It clearly would be in your employer's own interest to change its practice, Jones said. By not having a system in place that reasonably protects such personal information, your employer leaves itself wide open to lawsuits involving its negligence in preventing identity theft, invasion of privacy and even violations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, better known as HIPAA. (Many paychecks include information on deductions for health- insurance premiums and health savings accounts, which is considered confidential.) From the employer's point of view, its cavalier policy on the handling and distribution of employees' paychecks and pay information \"is not worth the risk,\" Jones said. But if you can't persuade the powers-that-be to change their ways, your only choices are to live with it or quit.
