Subject: Retention periods for HR records
Dear colleagues
I have recently taken on the role of archivist for a charity. It's a voluntary post and one of my priorities is to develop a retention schedule for their records. I trained as an archivist quite a long time ago and then was distracted into a career in education so it is a while since I tackled this kind of job. I am currently working on HR records and am getting conflicting advice on retention periods from different sources. I wonder if anyone might be able to point me in the direction of current guidelines relating to the retention of HR records or any sources of information that might be useful.
Thank you
Margaret Parsons
