Well, my employer doesn't charge for this, and I don't think I'd like to
work for one that did! In short, I consider that the relationship between
employer and employee should be as open as possible.

Subject: Charging for Employee Subject Access
requests
Sensitivity: Confidential
My company is considering if to charge employees for Subject
Access requests
for viewing their own personnel files (hard copy in a
relevant filing
system) under the Data Protection Act 1998 and I would be
interested to know
what other organisations are proposing.
I would be grateful if members of this group would share
their own
organisations policy in this area. Please do email me off
line if you
prefer and I will then publish the results to the whole
group.
In my own company, we would probably donate any £10 fees
collected to
charity anyway (we would not aim to make money from our own
employees), but
are drawn towards charging to minimise the number of access
requests.
