					The following is an issue any company who is using an HR data/systems
outsourcing solution needs to be very much aware of: 

Convergys Sued: Florida State Attorney General Charlie Crist is
pursuing a “false-claims case” against Convergys Corp., according to
the Miami Herald. The politically charged case stems from allegations
by former Convergys employee Sam McDowell that the Cincinnati-based HR
services company failed to safeguard confidential information about
Florida state employees, such as Social Security numbers and medical
records. The decision comes just weeks after McDowell filed court
motions accusing Crist of “refusing to act on complaints about the
company because Convergys contributed to Crist's campaign for the
Florida governorship,” according to the Cincinnati Business Courier.
Crist is one of two Republicans running to replace term-limited Florida
Gov. Jeb Bush in a September primary. It is unclear how much money
Convergys may have donated to Crist’s campaign.

Convergys has run into a number of problems associated with the Florida
contract. One former Convergys employee is doing prison time for
stealing state worker identities, while five state workers are pursuing
an identity-theft suit against Convergys. Also, a Convergys
subcontractor is accused of allowing confidential information of up to
100,000 state workers to be shipped to India.
