Retention periods for warnings that do not go on to become disciplinary
proceedings are usually laid down in the agreed disciplinary procedures as
they're part of the active management of the case. Have you checked your
organisation's disciplinary procedures? If a specific disciplinary action
ensues then the warnings become part of the record of those proceedings and
the retention period would be whatever the retention period for the whole
case file would be. There is no statutory requirement - CIPD recommend 6
years after employment ends but most organisations could probably manage
with closure of the case + 6 years.
