Privacy and Confidentiality Laws

Privacy and confidentiality laws in employee benefits protect the personal information of employees regarding their benefits, such as health insurance and retirement plans. These laws ensure that employers and benefits providers handle sensitive data responsibly, limiting access to authorized personnel only. They prevent unauthorized sharing of personal details, promoting trust and safeguarding individuals' rights. Violations can lead to legal consequences and fines. Ultimately, these laws aim to create a secure environment where employees feel confident that their private information is protected.
