Which of the following information may an employer reveal about an employee?

• A. Salary history
• B. Employee's name
• C. Home address
• D. Social Security number

Answer: (B)

Identifying information that simply identifies who works here is the kind of detail that’s generally appropriate to disclose, because it helps others know who is part of the organization and who to contact. An employee’s name is the basic identifier used in directories, badges, emails, and introductions, and it’s typically considered non-sensitive in normal business operations.

Sensitive information such as salary history, home address, or a Social Security number requires stricter protection. Salary history is private and often regulated by law, home addresses reveal a person’s residence, and a Social Security number is highly sensitive and a frequent target for identity theft. These should only be shared with authorized personnel and with the employee’s consent or as required by law.

So, among the options, the employee’s name is the information an employer may reveal because it serves as a basic, non-sensitive identifier, while the other items are protected personal data.
