Implications of processing the personal data of former employees for commercial purposes

Employers typically rely either on employee consent or the necessity for contractual performance (or both) as a basis for lawfully processing their employees’ personal data. However, certain legal questions arise where an employer continues to process an employee’s personal data after the termination of the employment contract. Is such post-employment processing of personal data permitted under the law? If so, can the post-employment processing be carried out for commercial purposes? What restrictions does the law provide in relation to such processing of personal data?

Update: Union representation in litigation disputes

Over the years, the question of whether an aggrieved employee may be represented in litigation proceedings by any trade union has been the subject of some uncertainty. That was until 2022, when the question was considered by the Labour Appeal Court (LAC) in NUMSA & Others v Afgri Animal Feeds (Ltd) (2022) 43 ILJ 1998 (LAC) where the LAC found that employees have the right to be represented by a trade union of their choice in litigation proceedings, regardless of whether the trade union’s constitution covers the industry in which the employees are employed. However, for collective bargaining rights, a trade union cannot bargain collectively with the employer in an industry outside of its scope (as the court saw this as a separate issue).

Back to the future: Harnessing Building Information Modeling for Greening Retrofit Projects

Amid the international push towards sustainability and energy efficiency, retrofitting existing buildings into greener models is a crucial strategy for reducing the consumptive effect that the built environment has on its surroundings. Buildings typically account for 40% of a city’s total energy usage, with electricity in the built environment accounting for nearly a quarter of South Africa’s carbon emissions. Retrofitting existing structures can thus play a significant role in infusing the built industry with environmentally-sustainablesolutions.
