28 shades of GDPR: Making sense of EU Member State variances for HR

Duration: 1 hour (including Q&A)

The GDPR standardizes employee data privacy laws across the EU, but there will still be shades of gray when it comes to individual state requirements. Across the EU’s 28 Member States, many will have their own implementation rules that go beyond the requirements of the GDPR.  

Which data practices are covered by the GDPR, which are not covered--and which decisions will be left for EU Member States to make on their own?

Join PeopleDoc and three lawyers from international firm Morgan Lewis as we address the details of the GDPR that aren’t so black-and-white.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• Final and pending legislation details for the United Kingdom, France and Germany
• How these implemention laws might impact employee data collection practices under GDPR
• Implications for HR depending on the possible outcomes of BREXIT
• How HR can proactively comply with the GDPR while addressing these country-specific exceptions
