Data protection

Significant penalties can be imposed on employers that breach the GDPR, including fines of up to €20 million or 4% of annual worldwide turnover, whichever is the greater.

Employers need to consider how the GDPR will impact upon them and their businesses and in particular, whether the necessary consents and procedures are in place.

We can assist employers by:

• updating employer’s SAR policy and procedures to reflect the new timelines and that they are to be processed free of charge unless the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
• Reviewing GDPR procedures, consents and privacy notices.
• Training staff.
