The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into force in the UK in May 2018 and created a new headache for anyone administering employees.
The Regulations require you to assess the data you keep on your employees, notify them about this and tell them why you use it, plus other information such as your policy on securing and deleting data when it’s no longer needed. Plus in some cases you may need their consent to keep and manage or ‘process’ their data and your employees now have rights to request the information you keep on them. You need to track these requests and respond in a timely fashion.
WP-HR Manager has now added a GDPR plugin – a simple stand alone tool if you don’t need to integrate with WP-HR Manager’s core HR plugin and a powerful Pro version that really simplifies the task of conforming to the GDPR regulations for employers.
