In part 2 of the IC's COP on Employer/Employee practices, section 7 on
marketing, the following is written:
"In any event, enclosing details of particular offers within a
communication that they will receive anyway, for example in a pay-slip,
is acceptable as long as the offer includes an explanation of how to
object."

Subject: Payslip Advertising
Hello All,
I've recently been informed that following Committee Approval, Payroll
Services will be including advertising from Financial Organisations
within
our Payslips.
I have provided advice to say that this amounts to Direct Marketing in
which an individual has a right to object (Section 11). I also advised
that Payroll Services should send out opt in/out notices and then record
any negative responses on our systems.
However, their response has been that sending out notices is not
processing and it is not directed to 'particular' individuals.
So now it seems that this processing may go ahead. In light of this, I
would appreciate your views regarding the above.
With kind regards,
Julie Davenport
