Who is allowed to view the shift plan?

Data privacy laws for duty rosters are clear: employees are not entitled to view the entire shift plan. Every worker has the right to prevent their schedule from being published, even within the company.

Must data protection be observed for a duty roster?

Yes, as a duty roster handles personal data, data privacy regulations strictly apply. Schedules should never be posted publicly or shared via messaging apps – a common but risky practice, especially in smaller businesses. This issue also affects larger companies; sharing an open Excel document that lets employees view their colleagues' personal information violates data protection laws. A shift schedule contains confidential personal data and must always be treated as a private document.

How do I create a data-protection-compliant duty roster?

Never post shift schedules publicly or share photos of them with employees. Restrict access to duty roster files on company networks and ensure each worker can only view their own data. Scheduling software can help create a fully data-compliant roster. These intelligent tools keep larger companies safe by automatically accounting for labor laws and privacy regulations during the scheduling process.
