Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Wisconsin
Privacy
I would like to know if it is legal for an employer to use portions of social security numbers for business use. For example using the last four digits of all the employees social security numbers to create a password database for entry on to a company computer.

The use of the last 4 numbers of a social security number for a password is not an illegal use of that number.
