Do companies need to amend employees' contracts to comply with GDPR?
No, it will not be necessary for employers to amend the contracts of existing employees to comply with GDPR. However, you should issue a new privacy notice to employees, providing information on the processing of their personal data and overriding any invalid data protection clauses in the contract. The GDPR specifies the information that the employer must provide in the privacy notice (purposes for processing the employee's personal data, the legal bases for the processing, information about the retention period and information about the employee's rights as a data subject).
It’s brilliant having the help available from Jane at the Sevier Consultancy Group. It’s reassuring dealing with Jane when working in a stand-alone, busy role
and I’m always impressed with how quickly she comes back to me. I have also found the HR templates really useful as well as the newsletters about upcoming changes. I would happily recommend the services of Sevier Consultancy to other employers.
