Legal Question in Employment Law in Wisconsin

Loss of Personal Information By Employer

My employer lost the copy of my social security card, driver's license and form filled out for proof of citizenship with my signature on it. They want me to provide it again. Don't employers have to be more responsible with my information and do I have to legally have to replace it.

Re: Loss of Personal Information By Employer

Hello,

I dont know of any legal requirement that will help you. Your employer apparently has a requirement for that information and lost it. Yes they should be more responsible, but they can likely require you to get this information again. This time make a bunch of copies. You can ask employer if they will help pay for costs of replacement, but if they wont, you may have no choice but to do it again if you want to work there. Good luck, Mark J. Mahoney
