Most employers will at some time wish to read employees' e-mails, check
on employees' use of the Internet and open correspondence addressed to
an individual. There may be clear cases where secret or covert
surveillance either by video camera or private investigators is
required. The law is complex and, in some cases, confusing. This book
aims to set out the law clearly and give practical guidance, including
examples of policies and procedures, which has been found to work.
Vetting staff before taking them into employment is equally fraught with
legal issues - none more so than the requirements of the Data
Protection Act 1998 to gain explicit consent before seeking certain
sensitive information. This book gives guidance in this difficult area
of employment law with practical advice, precedents and policies.
