don't forget to take into account that if a pension is payable to that
employee, then the retention is 6 years AFTER last pension payment has
been made to that employee.

The general practice for employees records is termination of employment
plus
6 years unless you are expecting possible litigation from an employee
then I
would suggest termination plus 12. The only reason for keeping them
any
longer would be in compliance with health and safety legislation such as
asbestos, noise and radiation exposure.
On the question of councillors I recommend current year plus 3 as being
sufficient as this covers the period required by District Audit. If
you
have an outstanding Councillor (Good works or notorious) then by all
means consult with the local history officer or the archivist. As to
closure -
The work of the authority should be in the public domain. Constituency
work belongs to the Councillor to dispose of.
