My question involves labor and employment law for the state of:
I recently got an e-mail from the HR manager at my company concerning the WOTC: explaining what it is, and how it can benefit the company. They want some information from me in order to help get the tax credit. For this purpose, the company is requiring me to call a private IT staffing, consulting, and talent management firm, to answer yes or no questions with a live operator about if I receive gov. Benefits. The instructions say I must call and provide my employer #, and my social security number to “correctly match you with the company you are calling from”.
This is not a request from the HR manager. I am very uncomfortable giving my SSN to a private company, when I do not have a direct relationship with them (like I do with my bank) with AND I am being told I have to do it. And from the way they phrased, it sounds like my company may have already given it to them (given that they say providing your SSN is for the purpose of "matching you").
I want to ask:
1. Legally, can my employer require me to provide my SSN number to this company (as part of the survey), by stating it’s required of my job?
2. Can they require me to provide info about if I receive government benefits?
3. If my employer already gave out my SSN to this company, are they legally allowed to do so without my explicit permission?
