Itโs a common question for employers โ how long should you actually keep an employeeโs personal information?
Under GDPR, personal data should only be kept for as long as it is reasonably necessary.
๐ก That means you shouldnโt keep everything indefinitely.
For example, if an employee leaves your organisation, there may be no reason to continue holding information such as their old bank details years later.
Employers should have a clear retention period and consider what information needs to be kept, what can be securely destroyed and whether certain records require different retention periods.
โ ๏ธ Sensitive information, such as medical records and payroll documents, may have different requirements.
At ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐, we can support employers with HR policies, GDPR considerations and employee record management.
