What to Save, What to Shred: Legal and Practical Recordkeeping Rules for HR

What to Save, What to Shred Webinar Recording

As a busy HR professional, you don't want that pile of employee documents and paperwork on your desk to land you on an episode of Hoarders, but you also don't want to get rid of any records you may need for future reference. The HR department is the repository for everything from resumes to attendance records, and this wealth of information can turn even the most organized office into a filing nightmare.

Personnel records often contain sensitive information, so you have to handle them carefully. They can not only prove you're in compliance with government recordkeeping requirements, but they also can make or break your case during disputes with current or former employees.

Stay up to date on the best practices related to personnel records, especially with new regs coming into play, including the EEOC’s April 2012 ruling to extend recordkeeping requirements under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act to entities covered by the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.

If you know what to collect, what to file, and especially what can be thrown away, you'll feel organized, knowing you have a legally safe system in place for all your recordkeeping requirements. 

Participate in this interactive webinar, and you'll learn:

• Federal law requirements that determine which documents you must keep and for how long
• Which documents must be retained in hard-copy form
• Best practices for recordkeeping at every phase of the employment lifecycle -- from hiring and benefits administration to performance reviews and termination
• The fundamental records to keep so that you can demonstrate compliance with the ADA, GINA, FMLA, OSHA, and other federal laws
• Records you should have on hand in the event of an employment-related lawsuit
• How to tell which documents you can safely purge
• Tips for transitioning from paper to electronically stored documents, including recommendations on backing up and destroying files
• Information that HR must maintain as private and separate from the personnel file
• How to devise a system that makes retrieving records a snap for your organization, which may come in mighty handy if the EEOC or DOL comes knocking at your door
• And more

In just 90 minutes, you'll have a complete understanding of how new laws and regulations affect the way you manage your employee files and other documents. Register now for this event risk-free.
