Your employer cannot share your credit report with other employees. This is an invasion of privacy.
You can sue your employer for invasion of privacy. Your damages (monetary compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit) for invasion of privacy would include mental distress, harm to social or business interests, and if applicable, physical illness.
