Data protection, pay and compliance issues are all complex. Getting them wrong can undermine relationships and trigger legal claims and regulatory investigations. We help employers navigate these complex issues.
It is increasingly common for employees to raise data protection complaints or make a data subject access request (DSAR) as part of a grievance or employment tribunal claim. We can help with these requests (using digital solutions to reduce costs and time) and advise on any strategic implications that a DSAR or complaint may have.
We also help employers navigate other data protection and privacy matters, such as considerations around employee monitoring and surveillance.
Pay is another complex issue with possible regulatory consequences. Getting pay right can be challenging, and mistakes can be costly. We understand the reputational and financial risks involved, together with the added considerations that the risk of a regulatory audit and possible sanctions can bring.
Whether you need advice on equal pay, pay reporting, National Wage Minimum (NMW) compliance, holiday pay calculations or off-payroll working rules (IR35), our pay experts are here to help – they get stuck into the detail and offer pragmatic advice, explaining your options in a straightforward way.
