On what basis may employee data be processed?

Employee personal data may be processed where this is necessary for the establishment, performance or termination of the employment relationship. Where processing rests on consent, whether it was freely given must be assessed in the light of the employment relationship, and consent is as a rule given in written or electronic form.
