    #330: Your Workplace Data Protection Rights Just Got New Life. Here's What You Need To Know!

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com Hi there, This week we are looking at the new data protection employment rights that you gained on 19th June 2026. In fact, this right is so new, you are likely to not even know this right exists because there was no build up to it. And, what that right is – is your new employment right to make a data protection complaint directly to your employer or to any organisation that holds your personal data, where you suspect that your personal data has been mishandled.  This new right called ‘The right to make a data protection complaint’ is about your personal information - your health, your finances, your private life, etc. and how much control you have over who gets to see and use that information. This new employment right to complain directly to your employer is therefore, a positive step forward for workers and now that you know this right exists you are in a much stronger position to use it. If this episode helps you understand your data protection rights at work, please share it with someone else who needs to hear it.  And, if you believe your personal data is being mishandled by your employer and they are not taking your data or your concerns seriously, please do not just put up with it. Get proper advice! We have our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Bullying Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist which are available to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work.  We also have our detailed handbook ‘Grievance Procedures: How To Use Grievance Procedures to Make Complaints and Challenge Unfair Treatment At Work’, which is available on Amazon, and will help you with your Grievance in a step by step way.   Check out the rest of our support services below.  Finally… remember to like, review and share the podcast to help us get to 50 reviews. We really do appreciate you doing this. Until next week… Have the best employment rights week that you can!

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com Hi there. This week as we move into the holiday season proper, we're talking about something that affects almost every worker in the UK at some point - and that is the strange and frustrating reality that millions of you are simply not taking the annual leave that you are legally entitled to. And, the reasons why you are giving back your holidays to your boss, are worth talking about. Some of the reasons you are not taking your holidays are about personal choice. But, a lot of the reasons are about pressures at work that get in the way of being able to take time off.

And if you believe your right to take annual leave is being undermined at work, please do not just put up with it.

    #327: You Never Knew That AI Decided Whether You Got That Job. Here Is What Your Employment Rights Say About This!

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com Hi there. This week, we’re talking about something that is becoming more and more common in the world of work and most workers have absolutely no idea that it is happening to them or that they have rights around it. We’re talking about automated decision-making in recruitment and selection, and in particular the use of AI tools in helping employers to sift, select, rule out and shortlist applications; What employers are doing wrong – and the rights you have to ensure you are treated fairly and without bias.  If you are currently going through a recruitment process… or you have recently been rejected from a role… it is worth asking the employer whether automated decision-making was used… and what safeguards they have in place. You have every right to ask that question. If this episode helped you understand your rights around automated decision-making… please share it with someone else who needs to hear it. If you believe your data rights have been breached in a recruitment process… please do not just move on. Get proper advice. We have Grievance support and consultation services available to help you understand your position and take practical steps forward.  Remember, we also have our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Bullying Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist which are available to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work.  We also have our detailed handbook ‘Grievance Procedures: How To Use Grievance Procedures to Make Complaints and Challenge Unfair Treatment At Work’, which is available on Amazon, and will help you with your Grievance in a step by step way.   Finally… remember to like… review… and share the Podcast… to help us get to 50 reviews.  Until next week Have the best employment rights week that you can!

    #325: Spent Convictions Cannot Be Used To Stop You Getting That Job. The Law Is On Your Side More Than You Think!

    Leave comments and questions here. If you would like a response, use our email: enquiries@employmentrightsonline.com Hi there. Last week we talked about everything YOU can do, practically and personally, to improve your chances of getting back into work when you have a criminal record. This week we explore the employment rights and legal protections that exist - to stop employers from simply shutting the door on you and denying you that job, just because you have a criminal conviction. In this episode, we look at The Rehavilitation Of Offenders Act, Data Protection and GDPR and the use of Blanket Ban policies to prevent you from getting that job, when you have a spent criminal conviction. The law is not perfect and there are gaps. But the protections that exist are real and you can use them if you believe you have been treated unfairly. Our FREE ‘WRITE IT DOWN’ Bullying Guide and Grievance Complaints Checklist are available here, to support you.  Use these guides to help you challenge unfair treatment at work.  We also have our detailed handbook ‘Grievance Procedures: How To Use Grievance Procedures to Make Complaints and Challenge Unfair Treatment At Work’, which is available on Amazon, and will help you with your Grievance in a step by step way.   Until next week Have the best employment rights week that you can!
