  • Whistle Blowing

    A friend of mine works in Retail and he is about to go through a disciplinary hearing with an employee who is short service. She has now raised a grievance claiming the manager has been bullying and harassing her along with other allegations including discrimination, duty of care, breach of health n safety.

    The manager cant think of any reason but one concern is that as a Company they keep nationality statistics/reports to ensure there is as a diverse workforce in each store.

    1. Is this a legitimate reason to have reports with this data?
    2. If this is not a legitimate reason then could the employee have grounds for Whistle Blowing and who would she report this to? The employee has not raised this in her grievance explicitly but has made a point of "unethical behaviour".
    3. What would be the worst case scenario in terms of what she could potentially claim?

    Your help and guidance is much appreciated

    The employer needs their employees’ permission to keep certain types of ’sensitive’ data, which includes race and ethnicity. If they do not have the agreement of the employee then this information should not be held.

    The report would be to the Information Commissioner's Office.
