Personnel Records: What to Keep, What to Toss.
You'll learn how to develop a sound records-retention policy to keep you out of legal hot water ... an especially high risk when dealing with disciplinary documentation, performance evaluations, workplace investigations and medical data.
If you keep everything, you're on the hook for not complying with the Federal Trade Commission's "disposal rule," which requires you to dispose of paper and electronic records used in applicants' credit checks in a reasonable way. If you keep nothing, you're virtually guaranteeing that you'll lose every legal battle.
