Scheduling and HR tools with data in the EU

8 of the 17 scheduling and HR tools in our guide store your data in the EU and offer a data processing agreement, according to the facts we checked with the vendor. They are listed in order of our overall score.

Why it matters

An HR package holds personal data of your employees, sometimes also leave and sickness absence. The vendor processes that data for you, and the GDPR then requires a data processing agreement.

Ask the vendor: Do you offer a data processing agreement, and who at your company can view my employees' files?
