Employee Personal Data

Effective September 1, 2021, employers that hire minors or individuals with a mental or intellectual disability will need to have their parent’s or guardian’s consent to obtain personal identifying information according to the Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, HB 3529. Personal identifying information includes in combination, a person's name, Social Security Number, date of birth, government-issued identification number, mother's maiden name, and biometric data (fingerprint, voice samples and retinal imaging). Employer’s need to be aware of this requirement as New Hire Forms and benefit information often requests personal identifying information upon hire.
