I found out the other day that the CEO of my company gave out my personal information to a sales employee. This is a remote sales employee and was having problems with his laptop. So on Sunday night at 6:30 I receive a call on my personal home number (not a company number) from this sales person, frantic and needing help. I cut him off and asked him how he got my number and he told me that the CEO gave him my home number and told him to give me a call. My home number is not publicly listed and no one in the company has my number. The only place my home number appears is in the confidential HR documents. I am pretty sure the CEO has no right to go into those documents and give out my personal information, but what is my legal recourse?

Please note I am not an "on-call" employee nor am I paid to be on-call.

doesn't sound right that he gave out your info, that should be protected under personaly privacy act.

Get the CEO's home number and fill out "to win a vacation" questionnaire at the local grocer, just keep doing that and he'll get so many calls.
Oh that is your legal recourse.
