Impact of GDPR on Payroll Personnel

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force across the European Union on 25^th May 2018 replacing the data protection framework under the EU Data Protective Directive. This regulation has been implemented in all local privacy laws across the entire EU and EEA region.
