Informed Consent

Throughout the employment relationship, employers are obligated to process the confidential data of their employees. Informed consent means that private information cannot be utilized unless the employee provides approval, it is essential to the employment contract, mandatory for complying with legal obligations, or for protecting the requisite interests of the employee. However, many employers prefer to obtain employee consent to upon hiring them instead of relying on alternative stipulations. Informed consent is regarded as difficult to challenge and transparent because it involves the agreement of the employee. Also, because it is perceived as being less open to interpretation, it is a reliable and safe option.
