Further guidance on General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been published by the Article 29 Working Party – the group of European data authorities charged with agreeing the guidance.

The latest guidance on profiling and breach reporting comes little more than seven months ahead of the roll-out of GDPR, which comes into effect on 25 May 2018 under the Data Protection Bill. The new measures overhaul the existing laws around the use and storage of data.

This release of information highlights how the final guidance is still being confirmed and that employers need to ensure they are ready for the changes.

In light of GDPR, payroll and HR will need to fundamentally review and make changes to their data and processes. To help with this, the Learn Centre is running a half-day GDPR course to help payroll professionals prepare.


"I have used The Learn Centre on a number of occasions and have found it provides a great platform to gain the knowledge required to carry out my job. I started off with the Payroll Technician course and this in-depth learning gave me a great foundation of payroll knowledge to build upon and give me the confidence to progress up the career ladder, well worth it and would certainly recommend, no matter what level you are at there will be a course/qualification that can help you."
