Hi, can an employer, who normally processed payroll in-house, hire the services of a 3rd party to process all aspects of payroll(pay, paye, prsi, usc, payslip etc) without the employees consent to the transfer of data (ex. Name, address, ppsn, taxation class, marital status, dependants tax credits etc). Or what steps…

Or what steps must/should be taken by the employer in changing its payroll from in house to outsourced?
Thanks.

An employer does not need to seek employee consent to outsource the payroll.

Prior to outsourcing, a data protection impact assessment is likely required and there needs to be a written contract or letter of engagement
in place between data controller (employer) and data processor (payroll company) that covers GDPR.
