Employee GDPR Precedents and Contracts

  • GDPR Employment Contract template This contract is intended to be used between you as the recruitment company and your own internal staff. It is a contract of employment and requires plenty of consideration when drafting. It has now been updated to reflect the GDPR.
  • GDPR Privacy Policy - A privacy policy to go alongside your employment contracts.  

Other contractual terms/agreements you may require

  • Controller – processor terms – your major suppliers will be amending their own terms to incorporate the controller-processor terms required under the GDPR
  • Data Sharing Guidance - this guidance  covers some of the relevant issues to consider before entering into any data sharing arrangement to help ensure your arrangement is compliant with the data protection legislation in the UK. The GDPR sets out more prescriptive requirements of what should be in a data processing agreement between data controllers and data processors.
