Depends on what you mean by "give out financial info". There are alot of business tasks that involve salary information. If you work in a contracting environment, each time a new contract is put in place, financial spreadsheets need to be created to keep track of the contract's budget. Whoever updates the spreadsheets need the salary information. So if that's what you mean, then yes, they can give it out. However, if the secretary is out to lunch with a co-worker and says, "You'll never believe what so-and-so is making!" Then that is an absolute no-no. More than likely, if you take a look at your companies Standard Operating Procedures, they probably state that this is grounds for termination.

I depends on the company's policys, but usually, it is frowned upon to give out someone's financial info without that person's consent. There are so many incidences of id theft nowadays, this makes me cringe.
HR should be the one's to crack down on this, along with the payroll department at your business.

Without the consent of the employee, you definitely are asking for trouble. Just as a good business practice, it should be avoided.

I think that depending on the circumstances could or couldn't be illegal. What I am sure is that is unethical and unfair. Would you like to another person to know how much you make and how much is your bonus?

There are exceptions. Law enforcement, Homeland Security, the bosses.

It's probably gross misconsuct and probable cause for immediate dismissal. There may be grounds for a civial lawsuit for breach of trust.
It depends on which information and who she gave it to for it to be illegal.

Probably. Check with the HR department.

Depends on the jurisdiction and who the "anyone" is.
If she just told someone what you're paid, I'd have a meeting with her boss about it. I'd want proof, too.
