Obligations
Obligations
Whoever examines this asks the same thing: was it necessary, and was there a lesser way.
The Legal Basis, Which Is Not Consent
Employees cannot refuse freely, so consent is rarely the basis. What you are actually relying on, and what it requires.
Proportionality, and the Test You Will Face
The question a regulator, tribunal or works council asks first. Preparing the answer changes the deployment.
Works Councils and Consultation
In several jurisdictions this is a legal step with real power attached, and starting it late is the expensive mistake.
What Must Be Disclosed
The minimum that has to be told to employees, and the larger amount that is worth telling anyway.
Access Requests and What People Will See
Somebody will ask for everything you hold about them. Rehearsing it once changes what you decide to collect.
Cross-Border Teams
A single policy applied across countries will be unlawful somewhere. What varies most, and the approach that scales.
Sector Rules and Regulated Work
Some sectors must record certain activity and some must not. Both create obligations the general policy will miss.
