How Thesaurus Connect can help with GDPR!
Where possible the data controller should offer self-service remote access to a secure system providing individuals with access to his or her personal data. Thesaurus Connect is a self-service option which provides online access 24/7. Employees can view and download current and historic payslips, P45’s and P60’s. Annual leave can also be requested which flows through as a notification for the employer to approve. Employee contact information can be edited and updated keeping records accurate at all times. For payroll bureaus, clients can access payslips, a leave calendar, amounts due to Revenue and payroll reports.
