Re: wage privacy

Hello. Identity theft is a real problem in this country. In fact, I have read that it may be the fastest

growing "white collar crime." If you requested that your employer not release your income information, it should not do so, especially since you expressed your concerns about identity theft. In my opinion, your employer is out of order if it releases this information. It would probably help if a lawyer contacted your employer on your behalf to let them know that you are serious. Will be happy to discuss matter further and in more detail. I hope my comments have been helpful.
