The law and document destruction

It's always interesting when we walk into a potential client's office, and see a stack of paperwork lying on the floor in the corner. When we ask about it, the answer, inevitably, is "That pile only stays there for a week, then we throw it out."

Little do they know, 9 times out of 10 they are breaking the law.

The law is very strict when it comes to protecting the privacy of a company's clients and employees. Just one violation could result in thousands of $$$ in fines, as well as their reputation.

HERE is a great article on just one of the laws...HIPPA.
