Employers need a legal ground to justify vetting potential job candidates on the basis of their Facebook and Twitter profiles, the EU regulators have said.
The Article 29 Working Party gave the view in its recently released Opinion on data processing at work, which aims to provide guidance on balancing employee privacy expectations in the workplace with employers' legitimate interests in processing employee data.
The Opinion (which like other Opinions is not legally binding) is applicable to all types of employees and not just those under employment contract.
