New Subject Access Request (SAR) guidance for employers

Local News 27 Jul 2023

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has issued guidance for employers on how to respond to a Subject Access Request (SAR) from a current or former employee.

The right of access gives someone the right to request a copy of their personal information from organisations, such as details of their attendance and sickness records, personal development or HR records.

You should ensure that your business and staff are aware of what they need to do if they receive a SAR as all requests must be responded to without delay and within one month of the request.
