As far as I am aware there is no legislation governing general employment.
However, there is legislation covering employees files for those working
with children which states 10 /15 years depending which legislation the
activity falls under..
Regarding the RMS Guidelines I have requested that they be removed as they
are now out of date and causing concern.
Hopefully they will be replaced by a more modern version that will prove as
useful as the existing one was in the past.

Subject: Summary of employment / staff register
Hello,
Is there legislation which states that we are required to keep a summary
of employment permanently / for 30 years or this just 'common practice'
as stated in the RMS Retention Guidance for Local Authorities?
