A GOOGLE search shows
Data Protection Act and Payslip Advertising
*Q. Do staff have the right to opt out of payslip advertising?*
*A*. Yes. The Data Protection Act gives people the right to object to their
personal information being used for marketing purposes. Employers are
obliged to respect any objections. Under the Act 'marketing'
includes not only the marketing of products or services, but also broader
activities such as the promotion of another organisation's aims and ideals.
*Q. How can a member of staff opt out of payslip advertising?*
*A*. The payslip has an outer wrapper that includes both a change of
address form and an advertising opt-out form. The form is directly
underneath the front panel of the payslip, which displays the individual's
name. All the member of staff needs to do is tick the box on this form 'I
do not wish to receive marketing inserts with my payslips', complete their
name, pay number and employer, and send the form to their Payroll
Department.
Q. Will staff who opt out of payslip advertising miss important messages
from their employer?
*A*. No. Employers should ensure that when sending important work-related
information out with payslips, the information is manually attached to the
payslips of those staff who have opted out of advertising.
