Description
ABSTRACT According to a 2002 report by TransUnion, one of the U.S.'s three credit bureaus, the No. 1 underlying source of identity fraud is theft of employer records. Human Resource departments are a prime target for this type of crime "when someone steals a wallet, they get one name, one SSN--when they steal personnel files, they get away with 10, maybe 100 names and numbers (Wells, 2002, p. 33). This paper will examine the potential legal and employee relations consequences associated with the theft of employer records and identity fraud, what employers can do to prevent theft of employer records, and what employers can do to minimize the negative consequences associated with their records being utilized in identity fraud.
