Resume Spamming Creates Storage, Legal Snags

selan writes "Did you know that federal law requires companies to store a copy of every single resume they receive? This applies to emailed resumes too, regardless of whether the applicant got the company's name wrong or is applying for a job that doesn't exist at the company. Employers not in compliance risk being fined and could lose government contracts. The resulting storage problems are creating massive headaches at companies who are overwhelmed with bulk-emailed resumes. The Baltimore Sun has the story."

Money, yes. Jail probably not. Death, not yet but just wait until the Workers World Party takes over. Don't forget padlocking your business until the issue is resolved, but I am not sure that applies here.

Perhaps you should review federal regulations and civil penalties.
