10. An employee has said he will be asking us for data on our employees, for information and consultation purposes. Do we have to provide it?

Yes, providing that the request is made in writing and dated. You need to provide the information within one month of the request, clarifying the numbers of part-time workers (see question five, above) and excluded workers (for example, temporary agency workers, sub-contractors, freelancers, non-executive directors, etc) in doing so. If you fail to provide the information, or provide it in a way which is likely to mislead on the issue in question, the employees may make a formal complaint to the CAC (Central Arbitration Committee - the body that polices these arrangements).
