Probably because some employers are now putting terms in employment contracts
to give them "legitimacy" in repect of the monitoring - particularly in
respect of a Schedule 2 condition. Oops, I mean "the employer has to identify a
condition from those listed in a certain section of the Act, failure to do so
would mean the processing is illegal." (Will the OIC actually tell us the new
phrases to use?)
