Works council privacy booklet
To support the works council, the Dutch Data Protection Authority (DPA) has created a guide: the works council privacy booklet.
Employers process a lot of personal data of their employees. And now that many people are working (partly) from home, some employers are particularly interested in ways to monitor their staff. This can of course be very intrusive for employees.
Taking their privacy into account is therefore extremely important. The works council plays a crucial role in this. The Works council privacy booklet helps the works council to assess regulations for processing employees’ personal data and to ask the employer critical questions. For example, in the case of regulations for staff tracking systems.
