Amend or delete an employee's payroll record

Description

You must make sure that the personal data you hold for individuals is accurate and kept up to date. If an individual asks you to correct their data, you must update this in your software.

HMRC require that you store payroll information for the current tax year and a minimum of three years prior to the current tax year. Unless there's another legal reason for keeping personal data, you must delete or remove the data at the request of the individual.
