Ocala, FL asked in Employment Law, Intellectual Property and Juvenile Law for Florida

Q: My son worked for Taco Bell back in February or March of this year. He was hired, submitted all his sensitive

SS Number, dob, birth certificate etc. And i have been trying to get my sons check after working there 3 days, and me making him resign after the THIRD school night and his manager making him stay to almost midnight, on a school night! I have been trying to go through the store but nobody could answer my questions so i went to the next level and emailes corporate. Within 48 hours the owner contacted me, and said he was NOWHERE to be found in the system. I am not happy! He asked to call me to see what he could come up with we just spoke and he proposed my 16-year-old child to go in tne system, fill app again, have him submit his sensitive data, and w2, and clock in and out for the days he worked. Even though he has not worked there is 3 months! And my child sensitive information, including anything a thief could open a line of credit somewhere in my childs name. I am not happy and would like to know if he is legally able to make hin submit it again and is it not illegal to lose that?

A: If--as you say--your son has already given all his personal information to the owner of the Taco Bell franchise then there should be no reason for concern about re-submitting the same information in order to get the money owed.

But to answer your questions: No, the owner of the Taco Bell franchise cannot force your son to re-submit his personal information.

And no, it is not "illegal" for the owner to "lose" your son's information.
