According to GDPR, personal data may be stored for as long as the employer needs the data to follow legal obligations, laws and regulations. Personal data which is handled in the payroll process are viewed as bases which may be needed in cases of audits, disputes and controls in order to prove that the legal requirements have been followed. When personal data is registered and linked to transactions in the payroll process, the employee cannot claim the right to have such personal data linked to payroll transactions removed.
When an employee ends their employment at the company you should however delete any data that is not necessary to store. Below you see our recommendation on what data should be deleted.
Delete or pseudonymise data
In Visma Lön Smart it is not possible to delete the data of an employee for whom you have created payslips.
If you have employees that you cannot delete, but for which you no longer need to store personal data, you can delete the data.Read more under Data to delete as soon as the final salary payment has been made.
If you terminate your Visma Lön Smart subscription, you will not be able to make changes to your company. You will only be able to view the information. In such cases you can pseudonymise the employees' sensitive data. To do this, go to each employee under Employees and click on Pseudonymise employee. Data such as address, email address and bank account number will then be removed.
Data to delete as soon as the final pay has been paid
The information in the following fields under Lön Smart - Employees should be deleted when the final pay has been paid.
- Payment to should be changed to Cash so that the settings under Clearing number and Account number are deleted (on the Pay tab).
- Notes (on the Basic information tab), such as next of kin contact details

- Address
- Postcode
- City
- Country
- Phone

We recommend that you set up a yearly routine to go through and delete data for any employees who have left the company during the previous year.
Please note that some information must be stored for longer, for example details about employees' pension insurances.
