Is it illegal to obtain employee financial information without their permission?

if an employer suspects an employee of improper conduct, can they obtain personal financial information without the employee's consent?|||yes, violation and u could be charged.|||That depends. Certainly they can get the employee's credit report. But I suspect that most banks aren't going to just hand over specific information like how much is in the account, unless they have a signed document from the employee that says it's OK, or a court order.|||Your question is written in a way that could bring a lot of different kinds of answers.





Tell us what happened. Tell us where it happened - like what state. Or what country.





Tell us what kind of personal financial information you're talking about. You mean savings account balance? Credit card activity? Stock holdings?





- Stuart|||Depends on what information and how you get it.





Its perfectly legal to look at an employees facebook page or ask someone about something.|||Not without a court order.





To David, it is illegal for an employer obtain an employee's credit report without his written consent.
