• issue information notices, requiring others to pro - vide it with information to investigate compliance; • issue assessment notices to allow it to enter premises, obtain documents and equipment, and interview persons; • issue enforcement notices, including warnings and reprimands, which may impose temporary or definitive bans on processing, or order a controller/ processor to take corrective action; and/or • issue monetary penalty notices. Article 57 of the Gibraltar GDPR also prescribes the tasks and functions of the Information Commission - er. These include, but are not limited to: promoting awareness of rights and obligations; handling com - plaints; conducting investigations and taking enforce - ment action against those controllers or processors failing to comply; and certifying and approving cer - tain mechanisms and schemes such as contractual clauses or binding corporate rules.
The Gibraltar government has tabled a Bill (the Employment (Amendment) Bill 2025), which, once enacted, is expected to introduce further protections that are broadly analogous to the Transfer of Under - takings (Protection of Employment) regime in England and Wales. The proposed reforms would align Gibral - tar law more closely with UK and EU principles by ensuring continuity of employment rights in cases of service provision changes. This is in addition to exist - ing protections in relation to the transfer of undertak - ings already contained under Part VIB of the Employ - ment Act 1932.
