Stephenson Harwood Employment Podcast

As employers plan and implement return to work strategies, the issue of health testing and screening is at the forefront of the conversation.  In this edition, associate Natalie Edwards in our employment team and associate Katie Hewson in our data protection team consider the burning question of many employers - whether they can require employees to undergo any form of medical tests or checks for Covid-19 before returning to work or whilst at work. In particular, they discuss the interaction of employment law and data protection rights in this area.
