It is the policy of RT to keep all past and present employee information private from disclosure to third parties. There are certain business related exceptions and they are:

  1. To comply with county, state or federal agency requests;
  2. Inquiries from third parties with a signed authorization from the employee to release the information, except in situations where limited verbal verifications are acceptable (see below);
  3. Third parties with which RT has contractual agreements to assist in administration of company sponsored benefits.

Verifications of Employment

Prospective employers, state agencies, financial institutions, and residential property managers may contact RT requesting information on a former or current employee's work history and salary. All such requests of this type shall be referred to and completed on a confidential basis by the Human Resources Department or Payroll Department.

For written verification of employment requests, information will be provided on the form only when it is accompanied by an employee's signed authorization to release information. The form will be returned directly to the requesting party and filed as part of the Human Resources or Payroll Department’s confidential records.

Medical Information

RT is compliant with federal HIPAA regulations and only utilizes information related to the company sponsored healthcare plan on a "need to know" basis for administration of the healthcare plan.

Sharing of Personal Information

We may share Personal Information with our consultants and affiliates for our internal business purposes. Except as described in this Privacy Policy, RT will not share Personal Information with a third party, unless a customer requests, consents to such disclosure, or disclosure is required or authorized by law. RT reserves the right to disclose Personal Information to a third party if a law, regulation, search warrant, subpoena, or court order legally requires or authorizes us to do so. RT also reserves the right to disclose and/or transfer Personal Information to a third party in the event of a proposed or actual purchase, sale, lease, merger, amalgamation or any other type of acquisition, disposal, or financing of all or any portion of RT or of any of the business or assets or shares of RT or a division thereof.
