Employee: Benefits
Protecting your employees will save you money!
Assistant Director of the Federal Trade Commission is quoted as saying that “The FTC will act against companies that are not
protecting consumer data;” she also states “We are not looking for a perfect system’, just a good faith attempt that the employer
is protecting consumer data. That means having a plan in writing and an officer on staff in place to implement that plan.
According to Business and Legal Reports, January 19, 2006 “One solution that provides an affirmative defense against potential
fines, fees, and lawsuits is to offer some sort of identity theft protection as an employee benefit. An employer can choose
whether or not to pay for this benefit. The key is to make the protection available, and have a mandatory
employee meeting on identity theft and the protection you are making available, similar to what most employers do for
health insurance … Greg Roderick, CEO of Frontier Management, says that his employees "feel like the company's valuing them
more, and it's very personal."
Did you know victims of identity theft typically spend more than 170 hours over two years trying to clean up the mess? Since
those hours are usually taken during the business day, resulting in decreased productivity and absenteeism, the smart thing to
do is to be pro active enough to protect your employees from identity theft in the first place.
That's why many companies choose ID Theft Solutions of America as an answer for their employee offerings. Unlike credit
monitoring services that just inform you when someone has already compromised an identity, our proactive system protects from
all facets of Identity Theft before, during and after the crime occurs! You can add ID Theft Solutions of America’s benefit offerings
to your existing benefits package at any time during the year, not just during open enrollment!
"As the owner of a small business my employees are an extension of my family. I looked into ID Theft Solutions of America and
immediately encouraged my employees to sign up. I just couldn't live with myself if one of my employees had to deal with the
problems of ID Theft and I could have prevented it."
