Hope there's someone out there who is familiar with DPA and HR matters.
I'm sure I heard years ago that holiday entitlement is part of your private data (because it relates to your contract of employment). Consequently, nobody can force you to put your holiday dates up on a public chart for all staff to see (and some visitors). You can ask people to do it but they don't have to comply.
Can anyone tell me if that's the case?
And, surely, sickness absence is even more private? For example, I assume it's legitimate to put up a summary on view, showing that last month 3 people were ill for 2 days each, that one person was ill for 5 days and that someone else was off ill for 15 days, but that no actual names should be on the charts. Am I right or wrong?
It would be great if you can point me to something definitive but simple.
