What does the term 'Employee Personal Data' refer to according to GDPR?

The term 'Employee Personal Data' as defined under GDPR pertains to information that is specifically related to an employee's role within the organization. This includes various types of data such as employment history, performance evaluations, contact details, and any other information that could be pertinent to the employee's professional responsibilities or employment relationship.

This definition aligns with the GDPR's broader focus on personal data, which encompasses any information that relates to an identifiable individual. In the context of employment, this data serves legitimate business purposes, such as payroll processing, performance management, and compliance with employment law.

The other options do not accurately capture the scope of Employee Personal Data. Information unrelated to work conducted would not be considered relevant to the employer-employee relationship. Data collected prior to employment can vary in its relevance to current work, making it less applicable as a definition. Lastly, while general health data can be part of Employee Personal Data, it does not encompass the entirety of what is considered relevant and necessary regarding an employee’s role and thus is too narrow of a focus.
