Legal Question in Employment Law in Florida

Confidential Information at Work
Can the manager of the Human Resources department be able to discuss private personal information about employees with other employees and managers who have no connection to the ee being talked about? Also, if there is suspicion that the PTO system is being abused by the HR manager and there is actual proof (emails, PTO forms, etc) that the HR manager was out more days than specified in the Company Handbook should she be retaliated? And if she is not relataliated, can I (as the employee that knows for a fact that she did cheat the PTO system and know for a fact that the HR managers is disclosing personal information) pursue legal action as I have been a victim of her discussing my personal information?

It depends on the information. They cannot share medical information, for instance. They can share your shoe size.
