Hey im back with a new unit requested by one of my followers, i posted what i thought was unit 10 in my profile recently, but i noticed that the assignment had nothing to do with what my subscriber asked, that is because when i did the course this unit (using science in the workplace) was my unit 2...
Employee information is stored on computers and is kept private and confidential. It should be kept
for a minimum number of years and it should be accessed by management for the purpose of
emergency contact and information checking. Security measures appropriate to the method of
storage and relative value of the information should be put in place. Storage and disclosure should
be carried out in circumstances which physically protects the information and allows it to maintain
its status as protected confidential information. Employees automatically have duties to their
employers to not knowingly misuse or wrongfully disclose their employer's confidential information.
These obligations are also often expressly confirmed in their employment contracts. If these
employees leave a business, the business is less well protected. The courts will generally only protect
the more important trade secrets of a business and will be reluctant to restrict ex-employees from
subsequently using less critical information.
Employee information is kept on a computer because the data is essential for the lab and if it isn’t
kept on a computer it can be mislaid, this may result in large difficulties such as workers not getting
paid, or the employers being unsure of the amount of workers they’ve employed. Not discovering
the amount of workers they’ve employed, the lab have no idea if they’ve got the correct level of
staff to undertake the jobs. The information can be utilized by the employer as they’ve got to get in
touch with each other frequently and also keep track of the workers development. Additionally, and
people who assist with the government who execute inspections of workers to discover if they are
ideal for the task and to see any criminal instances the employee might have been in this, enables
the lab to have a safe working environment. The security procedures to reach the data would be
that they’ll have to have a password to the computer system to enable the data. If additional people
would like to gain access to the information, they would need to request for the employers
authorization to work with the data.
• Work schedules
Work schedules are stored on computers and are viewable on paper copies across the workplace.
Using this method; employees are able to find out what duties and shift they are said to be
undertaking. This implies that there’ll be fewer confusions that may enable the laboratory to
undertake duties more proficiently. The data will have to be utilized regularly as there shall be
employees who might not understand what they should be doing or what shit they are undertaking.
If the data is viewable across the lab, then it can be utilized very easily. The explanation for
maintaining work schedules is that if there no work schedules then workers wont understand what
jobs to undertake as this will then produce misunderstanding on what staff member is doing the job.
This results in time being wasted therefore, it will require more time to execute jobs.
Work schedules are stored on a computer and on paper copies because without this date, the lab
isn’t ordered and workers wont understand when to undertake particular tasks or what their work
hours are. Another explanation why the data needs to be stored on the computer and paper copies
is because on a computer work schedules are able to be modified quite simply. This enables the lab
to switch work schedules and on paper copies it can be utilized by employers quire simply. The
information can be utilized by the employers and the employees as the workers need to understand
when they are working and the employers have to understand which staff should be undertaking
which job. The security procedure for undertaking this data is people have to be employers at this
lab to reach this data. The data doesn’t really make use for people that are not working at this lab.
