This Practice Note provides guidance on an individual’s rights as a Data subject in the employment context. In particular, it considers the issues that an employer organisation will need to address when drafting a Privacy notice to comply with the right to be informed, enjoyed by employees and other workers and contractors. It refers to employers and to employees, however similar principles apply where the individuals have the status of workers or independent contractors. It reflects the UK GDPR regime, and legislative links are to Assimilated Regulation (EU) 2016/679, UK General Data protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018), unless expressly stated otherwise.

For an overview of the key themes of Assimilated Regulation (EU) 2016/679, UK GDPR and DPA 2018 and guidance on particular issues of relevance to employment lawyers, see Practice Notes:
