Right to a job description

[Presonus]

I'll keep this open, I know the likelihood of gather thoughts opinions is low, but I don't like killing threads on half a story, so I'll probably stick with this through to the end

Had second investigation meeting today, where I was grilled on my subject access request, and effectively told that it was itself indicative of bullying/combatitive nature and that i had to justify the reason for it, I was also grilled on the fact that I should know that raising the SAR would cause the people who had to process it distress, and the fact i requested data that included records from people involved in the investigation (bear in mind I haven't been told who that is) is itself considered harassment.

It does seem, from what can be indirectly inferred that the processing of the SAR has been held/paused in order for this investigation to conclude,


I have kept to the legal and honest line which is, every company handles SAR different, I don't know what their processes are and I was simply excercising my right to access my information in anticipation of a legal dispute.

Please do keep us updated on this thread and if we can offer advice / support then we will.

By law, you can ask you for a copy of any information that is to do with you that your employer holds on you. It is your personal data, and you have a right to see it. They do have one calendar month to respond to the request, although if it was a very complex request, or if you made multiple requests, they can take an extra two calendar months to respond. Your employer must let you know there will be a delay before the end of the first calendar month.

Thanks I will keep updating

I was surprised that the investigating manager knew of the SAR, I considered it a subject - controller request as opposed rather than an employee to employer request, but what do I know!

Interestingly, years ago I did do a similar SAR and this ended up being considered as an executive complaint, and one of the findings were my employer should have more robust protocols in place and one of the criticisms was the sharing between colleagues of the fact I'd done a SAR. I still have that finding so I will pass it on to my solicitor (my solicitor is out of office for a period so I am a bit short on support)

My personal opinion that the SAR is somehow conducive to me showing aggression is laughable in my opinion. I can't believe they'd waste the time.

Due diligence, not aggression. People who want to see things through properly and fairly do due diligence. Like asking for information when allegations are raised against them, and using all means if people get evasive.

I love how doing this SAR is being used against me.
