Why You Should Attend: Employers should know how long to keep or destroy employee records and documents. Each state and federal agency has a different set of requirements, often covering the same documents so it’s challenging for you to know what to keep and for how long. These issues, as well as new identity theft threats and updated technology, impact your recordkeeping practices in a big way. This webinar will guide you through those requirements so you understand how to ensure compliance and understand the consequences of noncompliance. The webinar will also outline record retention requirements and notification requirements for several federal laws. By following the requirements, your institution should be able to avoid the pitfalls in employment-related liabilities and problems, if and when auditors investigate your files.
