Employee monitoring and using personal data - a podcast by TLT LLP
from 2020-11-27T09:40:27
Employee monitoring isn’t just about using software to check that people are working hard enough. It can be digital, manual, well intended or even a regulatory requirement.
But whether you’re monitoring devices, collecting data to make employment decisions or using CCTV (or even microchips), there’s a whole host of data protection and employment risks to consider.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The growth of employee monitoring and why employers might use it
- The GDPR principles of transparency, necessity and proportionality
- Using employee records for positive discrimination
- The £32.1m fine against H&M for “excessive” monitoring
- The role of data protection impact assessments
- Who’s responsible for CCTV and employee monitoring in shared workspaces
Our news section covers:
Two legal challenges against Uber regarding automated decisions about employees
The ICO’s final guidance on data subject access requests, including when you can “stop the clock” and what constitutes a manifestly unfounded or excessive request
We also answer your questions about whether an employee can withdraw an access request and how employers should be preparing for the end of the Brexit transition period.
