Data protection Act (mislaid payslip)
My employer has mislaid my pay slip and I am concerend about identity theft/fraud. I am also aware that there is some very personal and private information on the payslip. As a result I am mindful that there may be data protection obligations that may have been breeched by my employer. I have looked at the Data Protection Act via the net but remain unclear which if any parts of the Act may have been breeched. Can you help clarify the issue?
Many thanks
