New travel booking system
On 20 January, our travel booking system will be updated. Existing bookings will remain valid but won't be viewable in the new system. Please note any current bookings before the update.
We all have a responsibility to protect data, but we also have a right to have our own data protected. Find out more about how we manage employees' data.
We have a responsibility to everyone at Essex County Council to make sure that all information and data on our employees and their employment is secure and processed according to the data protection act.
Data Protection in Employment explains the council’s responsibilities to all employees.

Sometimes it might be necessary to monitor an employee’s email or internet use, ID card activity or use of other facilities.
If you are in a position where monitoring an employee is necessary, you will need to complete an impact assessment form and give the employee being monitored the advice form.
