Identity Theft Resolution - For Employers
This text is replaced by the Flash movie.
The Cost to Your Company and Your Employees
Financial institutions and data processing centers are not the only companies victimized by identity theft - these days, any employer risks bearing the brunt of this crime. An identity theft victim can spend as much as 300 hours dealing with the aftermath, which means a serious loss of productivity for his or her employer. Moreover, employers can be directly liable in the event that their employees' personal information is stolen from company records, as recent court cases have ruled. How can a company cover itself in such unfortunate circumstances?
