We noticed recently that there was a new, per employee charge on our bill (Canada)
We do not use online accounting or payroll, so we inquired as to the reason for this charge. We were given the usual story about service and costs and such. Typical cash grab, but hey, everyone is doing it. Then we inquired as to how they knew how many employees we currently had and said it was through an update that they obtained the number. They then sent over a revised invoice showing the names of the employees. (This is when my hair started to raise) So Quickbooks is mining private, supposedly secure employee information out of my business server? WTF? And what are they doing with this information, selling it? I'm not sure what the law is in California, but I think here in Canada, that is illegal. Anyone have any thoughts about this?
