Ireland's Data Protection Commission announced fresh employer guidance on handling the data of current, former and prospective employees. The DPC said the guidance is aimed at standard data collection, including employees' names and contact information, but added employers need to also consider nontraditional data like "information on occupational health, sick leave, performance reviews or disciplinary actions." The guidance also includes guidelines for employee monitoring and tracking.
