Provided that there are not any serious contentious personnel issues,
accidents/claims, etc then I believe that short term contract personnel
information contracted for a three months tenure or less should be kept only
for six months from contract end. However, you may wish to keep basic
contact details on a data base for possible rehire of personnel.
Please note this is not based on any official policy but viewed as a
realistic approach to maintaining short term contractor records for the
minimum time and disposing of them in a business and cost effective manner.

Subject: Retention for short-term contracts
My organization (OSCE) is involved in election monitoring in many
countries. This means hiring large numbers of people for roughly 1 or 2
months. I have investigated the PRO website and seen the retention
schedule for personnel records and for contracts - any thoughts on
appropriate retention for short-term personnel contracts?
