Employee data is personal data. HR usually owns the employment lifecycle processing and feeds the company plan rather than running it.
How to read this page. The obligations belong to your organisation, not to a role or a sector. Everything here is practical emphasis: which official duties this audience usually leads or feeds into, with links to the official text.

Rights requests from employeesRule 14, official text →
Access and erasure requests can come from staff; the published channels must work for them.
