A Checklist For Preventing Human Resources Problems.
Management concerned with employment law liability should be focused on prevention: preventing lawsuits, preventing employee morale problems, and preventing the day-to-day hassles personnel issues can create. The road to success in this area is not paved with good intentions, however. Employers must understand basic human resources principles to avoid the employment law pitfalls that await.

U.S. Data Protection Laws, With a Focus on California.
In the U.S., no comprehensive national law yet exists, which generally requires notification of security breaches involving personal information. California passed the first data breach notification statute in 20032 and over 30 states have since enacted similar laws. The California law, commonly referred to as “SB 1386”, requires owners, licensors, or custodians of personal information to notify data subjects whose information was (or is reasonably believed to have been) acquired in an unauthorized fashion. California laws also include proactive obligations related to data destruction and maintaining reasonable security measures.
