Six years from completion seems acceptable unless they are someone who often uses the grievance system then I would retain in the personnel file for six years after they have left the organisation. regards Keith Original Message: ----------------- From: Liz Sykes [log in to unmask] Date: Wed, 9 Dec 2009 10:40:19 +0000 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Grievance Files Hi, Can anybody point me in the right direction for retention regarding grievances made by staff members about their place of work, which leads to compensation? I am aware of guidelines relating to grievances made about a member of staff but not the other way round. The organisation I work for revolves around childcare but this file relates to a staff member in our conferencing department. My personal thought is 6 years from completion, ie Limitations Act but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
