Legal Services Q&A Forum Post: Staff access to employment records Q) Does an employee have a right to access their employment record as updated by their employer? Answered by Peter Done, Peninsula, Maybe, although data protection can be a complex issue. The Data Protection Act 1998 applies to personal data in computerised, manual or any other format, and the data needs to be in a system that allows the information to be readily accessible. Therefore, most personnel and employment files are likely to be covered by the Data Protection Act and your employees have a right to request access. The request must be in writing and a fee of £10 paid in advance. The information must be supplied by you within 40 days. There are currently no comments on this post. Leave a comment
