Employees and volunteers privacy notice
What information do we hold and why?
We collect information about you when you work or volunteer with us to fulfil our legal and contractual obligations as an employer. The type of information we collect includes but is not limited to name, address, gender, contact details, eligibility to work in the UK, date of birth, your application, information about your terms and conditions of employment, your bank account, National Insurance number, periods of leave taken and details of disciplinary/grievance issues relating to you.
How do we collect this information?
Data will be collected from you and NCHA’s management during your employment. You provide data to NCHA using a self service portal. Management collects information relating to you and your employment - for example performance data, sickness and pay data.
How will we use it?
We use this data for legal, personnel, administrative and management purposes and to enable us to meet our legal obligations as an employer, for example to pay you, monitor your performance and to confer benefits in connection with your employment.
We will process special category data relating to you including as appropriate:
- information about your physical and/or mental health in order to monitor sick leave and take decisions as to your fitness for work
- protected characteristics as defined in the Equality Act to monitor compliance with equal opportunities legislation
- Trade Union membership in order to comply with employment and/or legal requirements.
Who will we share it with?
We share the data with third parties in connection with your employment and pay - for example benefits and/or occupational health providers, HRMC, NCHA-recognised Trade Unions. When sharing personal data we will abide by General Data Protection Regulation. We will not transfer your data outside the European Economic Area.
Security and access to your information and correction
We have in place procedures and technologies to maintain the security of your personal data from the point of collection to the point of destruction. You have rights in relation to the data we hold, including the right to view your employment records. You may ask us to correct or remove information you think is inaccurate. We want to ensure that your personal information is accurate and up to date, and to do so we provide access to a self service portal.
Data retention
We will not keep your personal data for longer than is necessary for employment purposes. Data will be destroyed or erased from NCHA systems when it is no longer required, which is usually six years after completion of employment.
How to contact us
Please contact our data protection officer if you have any questions in relation to this notice or the information we hold about you.
