Hi all,
Just a thought for a Wednesday morning, presently we produce a directory
(printed) of staff names and contact telephone number, this being available
to other staff members and is available in libraries in the local area and
at front counters. Consent to have your name placed in the directory is not
presently sought. Could the conditions in schedule 2 for the entering into
a contract or the course of performing a contract cover this?, can it be
implied that employee's details can be used in such a way? I'm yet to look
over the contract of employment to see if this area is covered ( I'm
guessing that it isn't). However if the contract states that by signing it
consent is gained for this purpose, is this truly an informed decision?,
could such a contractual clause be deemed as enforced consent and as such a
unfair contract term?, could unwitting employees claim "non est factum" to
the clause?
To make matters worse this information may be published on the web site,
again the same questions apply, I believe that the publishing on a web page
is a totally different issue and perhaps consent should be obtained.
Answers on a postcard (if they fit)
