: Michigan Business Lawyer BlogAn Overview of Michigan's Social Security Number Privacy Act
If your business has any employees, you almost certainly have obtained the social security numbers of those individuals. Under Michigan's Social Security Number Privacy Act, you must take all reasonable steps to protect those social security numbers. The first thing you must do is put in place a social security number privacy policy. This policy must be placed in your employee handbook.
To comply with the law, your social security security number privacy policy must:
1. Assure the confidentiality of the social security numbers in your possession.
2. Prohibit the illegal disclosure of social security numbers.
3. Limit access to the social security numbers.
4. Provide a method for disposing of papers that contain social security numbers.
5. Establish penalties for violation of the policy.
There are a number of other important provisions in the Michigan Social Security Number Privacy Act. To help ensure compliance with this important law, you should contact a Michigan business attorney for assistance.
