All
We have lots of rural schools in Borders. Payslips are sent out via
Royal Mail. Anyway an envelope containing approx. 20 payslips has gone
missing. Royal Mail are looking into it. I have been asked for the
Data Protection issues surrounding this. The individuals are concerned
as their NI Number, Personnel Number - name etc. appear on these slips.
Their money has gone into the Bank but there are no Bank details on
payslips.
I know there are Identity Fraud implications but this is a very rural
area and would be very difficult to get away with this type of thing as
everyone knows everyone. Can anyone think of anything major that would
be likely to happen - really, what kind of advice can I give -
especially afetr the horse has bolted so to speak. We may never
retrieve these payslips - are RM libel?
Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks,
Doreen
