On September 6, 2019, a file containing all hourly employee paystubs was emailed to one employee who had requested their own paystub. The breach was discovered the same day when the employee received the email and reported the error to their supervisor who ensured the file was deleted and reported to payroll. The Organization investigated and confirmed that the file was distributed to only one employees, and was viewed by two employees, (the original recipient and his supervisor). The employee and supervisor said they only viewed employee names. No personal information from the email was been copied, circulated or otherwise disclosed to other people.
