I'm happy to be corrected but a normal person is not subject to GDPR rules unlike a business or organisation and it is not illegal to record a conversationThat would need permission from all involved
Tricky ..... IT would be better to say you wish to record . As Some contracts might have a clause about "recording meetings secretly etc ) Also it forms a professional atmosphere as each party is aware that what ever they say can be referred to later . Its also possible sometimes for a person to claim entrapment . Also ... if the OP was informed at the beginning of any meeting that any covert recording is not to take place etc .It could form "Gross misconduct" ?? A meeting can be "witnessed " At this stage , I would not want to lose a fight over something small. They might also be very worried if they are in the wrong and if so might use a very good employment lawyer to somehow "get you " on a technicality .I'm happy to be corrected but a normal person is not subject to GDPR rules unlike a business or organisation and it is not illegal to record a conversation
Sharing that recorded conversation is a different matter and could open up a civil claim for violation of privacy
If it were me, I would 100% record the conversation to cover my a**e and wouldn't think twice about it
Feel like this could get my self in more trouble than it’s worth and at the end of the day I’m doing this to protect myself from a situation I’ve been put in.Audio Recordings Law - Can employees record our conversations?
During a formal meeting with an employee, what if you suspect every word is being secretly recorded? Read more about Audio Recordings Law.www.stephens-scown.co.uk
If they can show its against their contract rules etc . Then it could mean trouble .
If you had DIRECT access to ask someone who charges £1200 a hour for the best advice on the matter . Their answer "Might" be "CHECK and if its stated .Then dont ".
Thanks for your help TimPersonally I'd go in with an open mind that boss may not be aware of what his blue-eyed QS has been up to, and at the first meeting I'd avoid doing anything to come across as antagonistic or a PITA. In other words, give him one chance.
It's a serious matter that should be taken seriously by default, and any half reasonable boss would completely understand that you are concerned the paperwork is fraudulently saying you have tested things that you haven't. If it were my company I'd be very concerned that this is a court case waiting to happen.
If nothing meaningful happens or changes you can send the company a letter, recorded delivery, stating that you are aware of many certificates that bear your name that you haven't tested, that these and any other similar jobs need testing properly, and you cannot take any responsibility for any certificates that bear your name until a full audit has been carried out. (and look for another job)
One other thought - do these certificates have an "approved for issue" or "reviewed by" section or similar and does the QS sign them too?
