Workplace Law – April 2024
Welcome to April’s Workplace Law. In this month’s edition we are delighted to share with you a video about our Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) software of which we are now able to deploy to help our clients. Powered by AI, we share how this technology can benefit your organisation when responding to DSARs, in terms of time, cost and accuracy.
Additionally, we discuss the increase to the ‘Vento bands’, which set guidelines for employment tribunals assessing compensation in discrimination cases, whether an oral disclosure of personal data is caught by GDPR, a whistleblowing case, as well as key employment law changes which came into effect this month. Plus, you can find out more about our employment fixed price annual telephone/email advice service and sign up to our next HR Club below.
If you have any questions about any of the topics raised in Workplace Law, please do get in touch.

Increase to injury to feelings compensation announced
This year sees the highest ever year on year increase to the ‘Vento bands’, which set guidelines for employment tribunals assessing compensation in discrimination cases.
Is an oral disclosure of personal data caught by GDPR?
A recent European case considered whether an oral disclosure amounts to ‘processing’ of personal data for GDPR purposes.
Whistleblowing – who knew?
If the decision maker did not know the details of the employee’s whistleblowing disclosure, can the claimant be said to have been dismissed because of the disclosure? Find out here.
