Personnel Records:
What to Keep, What to Toss
Maintaining personnel records used to be a whole lot simpler. Any HR department that wanted to be safe simply used a "keep everything" policy. But now, that strategy can cost you a lawsuit … and maybe more.
If you keep everything, you could be violating federal rules on the "reasonable disposal of sensitive documents." But if you destroy the wrong document, you could also be damaging the company – and your career.
Are you confidently up to date on the recent changes to recordkeeping management – including the new FFCRA recordkeeping rules relating to COVID-19 leave laws? The wrong decisions can trigger costly fines and leave you vulnerable to huge damages.
Discover how you can toss all that HR paperwork clutter but still keep your lawsuit-proof "armor" when it comes to personnel records. Using plain English (no legalese), this engaging, entertaining webinar will explain your HR recordkeeping requirements in light of new laws and regulations. You'll discover:
- Exactly how long to retain all types of documents … applications, résumés, FMLA forms, payroll records, leave requests, medical data, benefits info and more
- Which documents need to be maintained in separate files – and why
- How electronic storage rules differ from paper – and how to comply with both without going nuts
- The one rule of thumb you can apply to retention of almost any HR record
- How new I-9 rules affect your handling of these immigration forms
- What to do when lawyers ask to review personnel files (or employees ask)
- The requirements for storing and deleting company emails
- 10 simple steps for writing legally safe HR documents
In employee legal disputes, the winning case is often the best-documented case. Don't fall victim to a simple mistake that could have easily been avoided!
When attorney Carrie Hoffman presented this session to a packed audience at our annual LEAP conference last year, attendees had rave reviews:
- "Great info and straight to the point. Knows her stuff!"
- "I loved the practical examples of how to put this info to use in the 'real world'"
