Payroll

Payroll is the monthly calculation and documentation of gross and net pay, tax withholdings, and social-security contributions per employee; it is subject to tax-law retention obligations under § 147 AO and the data-protection requirements of § 26 BDSG for particularly sensitive employee data. Payroll processes pay journals, tax and social-security data, and garnishment workflows containing highly sensitive personal data. anonym.legal pseudonymizes that data GDPR-compliantly so payroll logic can be tested, workflows documented, and processes coordinated with service providers without broadly disseminating employee identities.
