GDPR for HR | General Data Protection Regulation

Are you concerned about GDPR?

Do you know what GDPR is?

Are you concerned about your current HR documentation covering Data Protection? 

Park City will ensure your HR documentation is compliant with the latest General Data Protection Regulation.

It's coming...

The new EU General Data Protection Regulation kicks into action on the 25th May 2018. This is an update of the Data Protection Act 1998. This will affect any organisation processing Personal Data of a resident of the EU, and any organisations outside of the EU which processes such data. 

This will include the UK after Brexit in 2019.

What does this mean?

Personal data is any kind of data that identifies someone. For example, this can be their name or email address. 

From a HR perspective, personal data includes information related to an employee. names, photos, bank details, email addresses, personal information or medical records qualifies as personal data.

The new GDPR guidelines state that you must be transparent, fair and lawful about what you do with your employee’s personal data.

How does this affect me?

Regardless of the size of your business, you are required by law to review your data protection policies and practices.

If you're an employer, this will include how you process the data you hold relating to your employees.

You must log consent when obtaining certain HR data from an employee from 25th May 2018, usually any data beyond that which is required to process payroll and satisfy HR requirements.

There will also be changes to how you process an employee’s request to see what information you have on file about them (subject access requests) and an employee’s right to be deleted, which is more limited than many believe.

What do I need to do?

• Appoint a board director or equivalent to take sole responsibility to get the organisation ready.
• Assess the skills and knowledge within the organisation and appoint an external advisor where necessary.
• Complete a Gap Analysis.
• Decide how to deliver the remediation required.
• Start making, and recording, the changes required.
• Train your employees on the revised data protection regulations.
• Review employment contracts, handbooks, policies and procedures.

Why do I need to do this?

If you are not compliant with the GDPR by 25th May 2018, you could face a fine of 4% of your businesses global annual turnover.
