Employers are prohibited from disclosing the personal information of their employees without prior authorization. Failure to keep this information confidential may constitute a breach of confidentiality.
This can include salaries, employee perks, client lists, trade secrets, sales numbers, customer information, news about pending terminations, reasons for a firing, phone codes or computer passwords. You may not divulge this information while you are working for an employer or after you leave.
