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.
