Sample Employee Records Policy

Privacy in the workplace is a significant issue for employers. Organisations can have access to an abundance of personal information about their employees and other persons with much of it sensitive. As a result, employers should implement best practice (including advising employees of how their records are handled via a policy such as this one) when maintaining privacy in the workplace, including employee records.

This policy is a sample only and may be tailored to suit business needs. Members should seek advice from Ai Group’s Workplace Advice Line (1300 55 66 77) before customising this policy.
