Be open with your team

Employers hold a lot of personal data, sometimes including bank and health details. A privacy notice tells staff what you hold, why and who sees it. In many places, monitoring of work systems has specific rules, including telling people about it, so state it plainly. Employment law varies widely, so have the draft checked locally.
