Said Sullivan, “I’m sure no one wants to see employees earning extra income for the holidays get ‘Scrooged’ by inaccurate over-withholding. For new seasonal employees, employees earning holiday over-time or employees receiving end of year bonuses, we want to remind employers and their payroll processors <i>not </i>to treat the unusual income as if it is part of the employee’s income all year.</span></span><br />

This has led to a new form of identity theft; Child ID theft. Given that a child may not have a "credit check" done for 18 to 25 years the opportunity for identity thieves to go undetected is multiplied significantly. <br />
<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=widgetsamazon-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=1413309569" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /><br />
As recently reported by Bob Sullivan at The Redtape Chronicles on <a href="http://msnbc.com/">msnbc.com</a>, a Carnegie Mellon University report published by Richard Power, a distinguished fellow at the school's CyLab research center, revealed that child ID theft is much more pervasive than previously imagined by most people who are aware of this type of crime. <br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Using data supplied by identity monitoring company Debix, Power examined 40,000 children's profiles and found more than 10 percent had identities that were adversely impacted in one way or another. Mr. Sullivan noted that among the 4,311 children found to have tainted identity records, 300 were under 5 years old. Nearly 1,800 cases involved utility service records, such as bogus electricity service accounts. There were also 500 kids' names attached to mortgages or foreclosures and 415 of the kids had driver's licenses. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Among the victims described in the report there was a 16-year-old girl in Arizona with 33 credit accounts linked to her name, including three mortgages; a college student with $300,000 in debt that was the result of the transposition of numbers; a college student from Texas who lost an internship because her background check classified her as "unemployable"; and a 30-year-old woman in Arizona who recently tried to buy a home, but was turned down because her bank told her that she had a recent foreclosure on her record. This woman's identity was compromised<i> when she was only twelve years old </i>and, as evidenced by her recent real estate woes, she is still haunted by the identity thief who became her imposter years ago. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Though the study was not strictly scientific, as the data sample was not necessarily representative of the public as a whole, the data is consistent with other research that suggests that criminals often use randomly selected Social Security numbers to obtain employment or credit, which puts children at equal risk as adults. Furthermore, as the researcher pointed out, "(Children) make perfect targets because they have no records and don't discover the crime for years," In fact, the deliberate theft, or inadvertent error, that affects the child's ID usually isn't found until the child applies for college financial aid, a car loan, or attempts to obtain employment. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><em><span style="font-style: normal;">As pointed out in an on-line fact sheet ("</span>A Guide for Parents - Child Identity Theft Indicators") </em><span style="font-style: normal;"><em>distributed by the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC), <span style="text-decoration: underline;">child identity theft</span></em></span> occurs when a child's identity is used by another person for the imposter's personal gain. The perpetrator may be a family member or someone known by the family. It could also be a stranger who purposely targets children because of the lengthy time between the theft of the information and the discovery of the crime.<em>Criminal identity theft</em> occurs when a person "borrows" the information of the minor to get a driver's license or uses the child's identity when caught in a criminal act. <em>Identity assumption</em> is when an identity thief uses an identity for financial, criminal, and governmental purposes. </div><div class="style3" style="margin: auto 0in;">Parents or relatives of child ID theft victims are usually the first to notice something is not quite right, and discovery often comes:</div><ul type="disc"><li style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tab-stops: list .5in;">When attempting to open a savings account or college fund for the child.

I tend to agree with those who believe that most American taxpayers now are careful to properly shred their paperwork with sensitive information before disposing of it. However, given the huge proliferation of criminal schemes and high-tech scams designed to pilfer and misuse the personal information of millions of victims, it’s very clear that shredding alone is not nearly enough to protect our personal identity and funds.<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Official-Identity-Theft-Prevention-Handbook/dp/0982758820?ie=UTF8&tag=widgetsamazon-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">The Official Identity Theft Prevention Handbook: Everyone's Identity Has Already Been Stolen - Learn What You Can Do About It</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=widgetsamazon-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0982758820" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></i><br />

<i>Mountain View, CA -based WatchDox is a privately held firm that’s in business to protect its clients’ electronic information by enabling secure document sharing and collaboration, inside and outside of organizations. Earlier this month, WatchDox published and made available on their website handy tips to help taxpayers protect their identity and prevent data loss during tax season. What follows is the WatchDox list of precautions to take when preparing and filing sensitive tax returns – tips that also had been made available at the www.SecurityProducts website: </i></blockquote><br />
Be wary of phishing scams. The IRS reported in 2008 that it had received a total of 33,000 scam e-mails over the years, all of which were forwarded by taxpayers. Those e-mails, the agency said, represent 1,500 different schemes. The IRS does not use e-mail to communicate with taxpayers. If a message shows up in your inbox purporting to be from the IRS, it is almost certainly a scam.<br />
<br />
Protect your personally identifiable information (PII). Tax forms, by necessity, contain PII that could be valuable to identity thieves. If someone requests your Social Security or bank account numbers over the phone or via e-mail, decline to share that data.<br />
<br />
Determine whether your PC is one of the 60 percent of machines in the country infected by malware. Malicious software makes its way onto personal computers via e-mail and the Internet. These Trojan horses, viruses, worms and other unwanted programs can put data at risk. Ensure computers are malware-free by keeping anti-virus software updated, using a personal firewall, and making sure to act sensibly. Don’t open attachments unless they are absolutely necessary and come from trusted sources. Don’t surf unknown websites, and don’t download suspicious applications from the Internet.<br />
<br />
Use e-mail with caution. E-mail is not a secure way of sending sensitive documents. If you must use it, make sure your e-mail provider uses secure sockets layer (SSL). Look for the “https://” prefix in the address bar.<br />
<br />
Protect your documents. You can encrypt your documents using Winzip or other tools, or use even stronger services that deliver protection, control and tracking of your documents even after they have been sent. Keep in mind that unprotected documents can leak even after they arrive at their destination.<br />
<br />
“This season is a boon to identity thieves, who are eager to take advantage of taxpayers who share personal and sensitive data over insecure channels,” said Adi Ruppin, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development of WatchDox. “With some common sense and simple technology solutions, individuals can easily protect their documents and file their taxes securely.”<br />
<br />
And because most of us will be making copies of our tax returns at some point during tax season, it’s important to remember that most office copy machines are equipped with a hard drive that stores images of every document that has been scanned, faxed and/or printed. The images are often retained until the disk fills and the oldest data is overwritten. And when the office machine’s lease is up, all of the archived data goes out the door along with the copier.<br />
<br />
So what can we do to protect our sensitive data and ourselves from identity theft when using copiers? Here are a few tips for good copier security:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul><li> If you have a scanner and printer at home that can serve as a copier, use that device to copy your sensitive paperwork. Avoid copying personal information on work or public machines, especially if you have no control over how those machines are administered. </li>
<li> If you're leasing a machine, discuss end of life security with your service provider to ensure that all copy machine hard drives will be completely erased when the machine(s) is removed. </li>
<li> The other alternative is to destroy or erase the disk(s) yourself before selling the machine or allowing it to be removed from your workplace.</li>
<li> Some copiers have privacy and security software available. Sharp and Xerox, for example, can overwrite images so that they don't remain on the hard drive after the print job finishes. Discuss these features with your vendor and implement appropriate security policies. </li>
</ul><br />
<br />

<blockquote>In terms of profitability, the last three years have been our best ever. In 2010, the real improvement in operating income continued and reached 6 percent, and also the operating margin improved compared with 2009. Securitas is coming out of the recession in a better shape than we were in when the recession hit.</blockquote>Read more about Securitas in the Full-Year Report January-December 2010 on<a href="http://www.securitas.com/"> www.securitas.com</a><br />

In the event an employee states their W-2 has not been received as of January 31, 2011, please verify the address. If the address is correct, please ask that a few extra days be allowed for possible slow mail delivery. If the address is incorrect, please make the necessary change to the system (this includes both current and former employees). Your changes to SAFES will update the Payroll Systems with the next regular Payroll cycle. Please be advised that this will not be reflected on the 2010 W2, but if updated the W-2 can be forwarded to the updated address upon return by the USPS.<br />
<br />
To simplify and expedite the process for obtaining reprints of W-2 Forms, employees may obtain reissued statements over the Internet. This process will allow Securitas employees, to immediately access their forms, print them out or have them sent to an e-mail address. The website, <a href="http://www.eprintview.com/">www.eprintview.com</a>, is currently available for 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 W-2's and will be available for 2010 beginning approximately February 1, 2011. Instructions on how to access the website are provided in the attachment. Please have copies of the instructions printed to provide to employees inquiring about their W-2 Form. You may advise the employee, that the initial password is their 6-digit birth date (MMDDYY), without dashes or slashes, for example: 011250, however, they will be asked to change to a personal secure password upon initial log in. The Securitas PIN number is 1645. If the employee has used eprintview.com at any previous time, then they have already changed their password and must use that password to enter into the system.Larry Ghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01662025979379982987noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452498135591713347.post-46968279070269262342010-11-08T10:33:00.000-05:002010-11-08T10:33:25.882-05:00Justice is Global: Securitas in Sweden Hears Concerns of Company's U.S. Security OfficersOn the final day of their delegation to Sweden, four U.S. security officers employed by Swedish multinational Securitas visited the worldwide headquarters of their employer in Stockholm today. The group met with a Securitas manager, delivered 26 handwritten letters authored by their coworkers, and urged Securitas to recognize their freedom to form a union, as Securitas pledges to do in its Code of Conduct and in a Global Agreement with UNI Global Union. <a href="http://www.standforsecurity.org/2010/11/justice-is-global-securitas-in-sweden-he.php">link</a><br />

As you login to access services provided by TALX for (employment verification, online pay check information and, unemployment tax management) activities, there will be a one-time initial enrollment after entering your user ID and password. This additional safety measure is being added as a step to continually improve the security of confidential information. The format is likely to be familiar to you as it is one currently used by many leading financial institutions to better ensure users are who they say they are.

<blockquote>The Company is pleased to announce a new employee pay program that will substantially improve the way Securitas USA employees receive their pay. The program will provide significant economies for our employees and the company and, at the same time, provide an environmentally “Green” solution that will reduce paper consumption of 2.6M checks and envelopes per year.<br />
<br />
<br />
The new program consists of the following elements:<br />
<br />
Paystub information will be available to all employees through a web based system, a phone voice response system, and an automated fax back feature <br />
<br />
Payroll Choices<br />
<br />
Employees may choose either of the following methods to receive their pay:<br />
<br />
Direct Deposit – new campaign to increase the number of employees selecting this method of receiving their pay at their own banking establishment <br />
<br />
PayCard - this program offers employees that do not have bank accounts or do not want to utilize Direct Deposit two ways to receive their pay:<br />
<br />
Visa® Payroll Card - provided by Citi® Prepaid Services - the card is retained by the employee, funded each pay cycle, and functions like a debit card <br />
<br />
Pre-Check – a pre-authorized check completed by the employee that can be cashed at various retail establishments<br />

<br />
Access to payroll detail 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by web, phone & fax<br />
<br />
Access to paycheck history for up to 3 years<br />
<br />
Access to paycheck detail the day before payday<br />
<br />
Ability to view pay stubs through the web, phone, fax, and to print, if applicable<br />
<br />
PayCard Benefit<br />
<br />
Convenience – obtaining their full net pay with no check cashing fees at 40,000+ Visa® member banks across the country <br />
<br />
Reliability – timely pay delivery that is not subject to physical delivery issues and advance viewing of pay data online or via the telephone <br />
<br />
Flexibility – card purchases at millions of merchants <br />
<br />
Control – online and phone account management<br />
<br />
Support – answers to card and pay questions 24/7 <br />
<br />
Security – fraud protection based on certain terms and conditions <br />
<br />
Branch Offices<br />
<br />
Distribution – regular pay checks and pay stub advices will no longer be sent to the office eliminating the need to be handed out or distributed to job sites <br />
<br />
Lost Check Issues – significant reduction in payroll related “emergencies” by providing pay electronically rather than through a live check <br />
<br />
Potential Delays – weather delays, natural disaster impacts, courier outages or strikes, USPS delivery issues all go away with electronic pay distribution <br />
<br />
For the program to be successful, it needs to be communicated to all employees so they understand this is a positive change that benefits them and the environment. Promotional collateral for all the elements of the project have been created to assist in this effort. During the month of October, all employees currently signed up for Direct Deposit delivery of their pay will receive two payroll stuffers in their pay advice envelopes. The first stuffer will introduce the program and the second will announce the last printed pay stub they will receive.<br />

Bonds can be deducted as a one-time only purchase, or set up as an ongoing deduction. <br />
Series EE Savings Bond purchases will be handled on a one to one basis. This type of Savings Bond has a purchase price of half the face value of the bond. For example, an employee wishes to purchase a $50 Series EE Bond. Upon authorization from the employee, we will deduct the $25 purchase price in one sum, from one check only. We will then purchase the bond for the employee.<br />
Bonds are mailed directly to the employee by the Federal Reserve Bank, and take 4-6 weeks from the time of the first deduction to arrive.<br />
This transaction requires that the employee complete a bond purchase authorization form, a copy of which is available at the Danbury Office. The original signed, completed form will be sent directly to EOC Payroll. <br />

<br />
The next step will <strike>most likely</strike> be the elimination of all payroll checks. <br />
<br />
What does this mean to you:<br />
<ol><li> if you do not have direct deposit you will be issued a debit card. </li>
<li>This could end up costing you money when using it at a local ATM machine. <em>Some of these machines charge 2.50 for the privilege. </em></li>
<li>There are withdraw limits on most ATMs.</li>
