Workplace Data

In today’s increasingly digital world there is more scope than ever for data breaches in the workplace that could have an impact on employees, customers and clients.

The legislation on data protection is complex and we can advise you on complex data issues quickly and concisely whilst ensuring that you comply with your obligations.

employer obligations relating to requests for information to be used to evidence tribunal proceedings – such as comparator pay for equal pay claims and disciplinary outcomes for other strands of discrimination claims
