Margaret:
Some pointers to some useful information:
Information and Records Management Society (IRMS) third sector RM toolkit: https://irms.org.uk/page/ThirdSectorToolkit
IRMS retention wiki: https://irms.org.uk/page/RetentionWiki
JISC records retention schedule: http://bcs.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/he/default.asp
The National Archives guidance on retention: https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/information-management/browse-guidance-standards/?letter=r&keyword=retention
Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) retention guidance: https://www.cipd.co.uk/knowledge/fundamentals/people/hr/keeping-records-factsheet
Some of this information (the IRMS and CIPD stuff) is only available with a valid login and I don’t know if you or any of your colleagues will be able to access this but the JISC stuff is freely available and, although directed towards a higher education audience, HR is HR whatever the sector.
Good luck
Regards
Matt

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
