Quick Answer

What employee data obligations exist under the DPDP Act? The DPDP Act 2023 applies to all personal data of employees, including recruitment data, payroll records, performance reviews, attendance and biometric data, health information, and communication logs. Employers must obtain valid consent for processing employee data that goes beyond the employment contract, provide employees with a DPDP-compliant privacy notice, enable employees to access and correct their personal records, retain data only for as long as the employment relationship (and any legally required post-termination period) requires, and sign DPAs with all HR software and payroll vendors.
