Payroll details lost in the post

DISCS containing the payroll details of tens of thousands of council workers have gone missing or been stolen in the post.

The CDs had data on the 30,000-plus who were employed by Glasgow City Council in 2007 and the 20,000-plus still employed in 2009 after the authority transferred thousands of staff to its arms-length companies.

The CDs were given to Edinburgh-based solicitors Fox and Partners, which is involved in a massive equal pay case against the council. But when the legal firm sent them to a third party for analysis, only an empty envelope arrived.
