It is important that your personnel records contain accurate and up-to-date information. Any changes of name, address, telephone number, or number of dependents should be reported to the Office of Human Resources promptly. We also request that you supply us with the name, address, and telephone number of the person you wish to have contacted in the event of an emergency. CHSU will not take adverse action against an employee who updates his/her personal information based on a lawful change of name, social security number, or federal employment authorization document.
CHSU will not display, disseminate, or require you to use your social security number for any purposes, unless strict security devices are in place or required by law.
CHSU shall immediately disclose to affected employees, any breach of the security of our computerized systems that includes personal information. Personal information is a first name or first initial and last name in combination with the individual’s social security, driver’s license or California Identification Card number. A breach of security includes unauthorized acquisition of computerized data that compromises the security, confidentiality or integrity of personal information. Good faith acquisition of personal information by an employee or agent of CHSU in the course of performing work-related duties is not considered a breach, provided the personal information is not used or subject to further unauthorized disclosure.
If a current employee’s personal information is released, CHSU will provide written e- mail notification to the individual.
