Personnel Records: What to Keep, What to Toss
Wednesday, September 28, 2022Â |Â 1:00 PM ET
One simple HR paperwork mistake can cost you big.
Maintaining personnel records used to be a lot simpler. Any HR department that wanted to be “safe” relied on a “keep everything” policy. Today that approach could violate the rules on the “reasonable disposal of sensitive documents.” If the wrong document is destroyed, it could be damaging to the company and your career. Plus, COVID vaccine verification, testing, and exception requests add a new level of complexity to your recordkeeping compliance.
On September 28, discover how to toss all that HR paperwork clutter but keep lawsuit-proof “armor” when it comes to personnel records. This engaging, entertaining webinar will explain HR recordkeeping requirements, including new COVID-related document obligations.
Don’t fall victim to a simple mistake that could have been easily avoided! Remember, in employee legal disputes, the winning case is often the best-documented case.
