Our new sales director just asked for a head shot photo and birth date for all the sales people.
I sent back my photo, which is like the one on my company ID card, and the month and day of my birth.
I don't think anyone outside of HR can ask my age. I'm concerned that, since I'm Medicare eligible, they might want to get rid of the people who could retire.
And I don't want to retire yet.
Do I have to tell the sales managers how old I am?

You may not want to retire. But you be about to.
Better to retire than they find another reason to let you go and you lose anything.

Nope. And you don't have to tell him your birth month/day either.

It's quite easy enough to get from HR. Not telling him would just make him do more work. Not a good thing in Ed's position...

If it were me, I would just casually say I don't celebrate my birthday so I don't share it. Here's my current ID photo. Let me know if you need anything else.
I cannot figure out why the company does not know how old you are, together with your birthdate. I thought this was supplied on the application for work when you were initially employed...
Or is the guy just too lazy to look this stuff up?

Privacy laws, HR can't tell the boss.

Oh poo. They can easily figure out how old he is...school history, employment history. Thats one of the first things i do...figure out about how old they are...
And then when i get their paperwork, its always on there. Ive never heard of HR holding back birthdates. Ours sure doesnt.

BS. That is simply ridiculous. There are no privacy laws concerning that. If you think there are--cite the relevant statutes.

Might be a good idea, Lily. LOL
I have been out of the loop so long that I do not know much about Privacy Laws, but from what I have read and heard, it seems they have been carried to extremes.....

Which means you have HR duties and you are not allowed to divulge that info to anyone who does not have the need to know.

Right, so he gives his birth month and day and call it a day! No harm, no foul.

Your date of birth is on your driver's license - which is public record. You have to show that all the time - to have something notarized, to buy alcohol, to enter a federal building. Your DOB is not protected info.

Seriously. In order to get into our building, you have to give us your drivers license and a copy is made. I can pull up that record any time I need to look through the logs...
