There are many legal requirements for employers when it comes to record retention. Laws such as Title VII, the Immigration Reform and Control Act, and ERISA, to name a few. Employers must follow regulations published by many federal agencies: the Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission, the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, and more.

Why Should You Attend
Imagine that your company has gotten sued. Have you retained all of the records that you will need to defend your organization? If you have not, you can face severe penalties from the judicial system – ranging from monetary sanctions or a judgment in the plaintiff’s favor (even if the case is meritless). Are there legal reasons why you may have destroyed records?
Topic Background
Employers retain many documents on their employee's applications, medical information, social security numbers, etc. While it might be tempting to retain these records forever, it is not wise to do so. The law, however, requires employers to keep records for minimal periods of time. In this webinar, we will cover employers’ recordkeeping obligations.
