1 FEDERAL RECORDKEEPING RECORD RETENTION WHAT RECORDS - FOR HOW LONG
2 Federal recordkeeping requirements are extensive. The following table explains in digest form some of the most important requirements that apply to most Employers. Please note that not all Employers are covered by all laws. Record Period Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) The ADEA prohibits employment practices that discriminate on the basis of age, unless age is a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) or the practice is based on reasonable factors other than age. The Act covers employers with 20 or more employees, labor unions with 25 or more members, local and state governments and employment agencies, and generally extend to individuals who are age 40 and over. Job applications, resumes, other forms of job inquiries Promotions, demotions, transfers, training selection, layoff, recall or discharge Job orders submitted to employment agencies; candidate test papers for any position; physical exam results if used in employment decisions; ads or notices relating to job openings, training opportunities, or opportunities for overtime Employee benefit plans. (Note: for employee benefit plan, records must be kept for one year from termination of plan.) Payroll or other records containing employee name, address, date of birth, occupation, rate of pay, and compensation earned each week Note: Where a charge or lawsuit is filed, all relevant records must be kept until final disposition of the charge or lawsuit. 1 year from date of action. See Note Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA) - Amendment to ADEA Payroll or other records containing each employee s name, address, date of birth, occupation, rate of pay, and weekly compensation Americans with Disabilities Act The ADA prohibits employment practices that discriminate against persons with disabilities. Its provisions apply to virtually all employers with 15 or more employees. Applications and other personnel records (e.g. promotions, transfers, demotions, layoffs, terminations) requests for reasonable accommodation Where a charge or lawsuit is filed, all relevant records must be kept until final disposition of the charge or lawsuit. 1 year from making the records or taking the personnel actions. 2
3 Civil Rights Act of 1964 Title VII of the Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination against employees or job applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It extends to all aspects of employment including any term, condition or privilege of employment. Title VII covers all companies with 15 or more employees doing business in interstate commerce. Applications and other personnel records (e.g. promotions, transfers, demotions, layoffs, terminations), including records for temporary or seasonal positions 1 year see notes Requires the filing of annual EEO-1 Report (for Federal contractors with 50 or more employees, non-contract employers with 100 or more) Where a charge or lawsuit is filed, all relevant records must be kept until final disposition of the charge or lawsuit. A copy of the current EEO-1 Report must be retained. Davis Bacon Act The Davis-Bacon Act requires employers to pay prevailing wages, plus the value of prevailing employee benefits, to laborers and mechanics employed in the construction or repair of public works and facilities. The Department of Labor makes specific wage determinations applicable to such contracts and publishes them from time to time in the Federal Register. Employers subject to the Act must also pay time and a half for hours worked in excess of 40 per week. People employed off site, those employed on site, and those employed on site in non-construction jobs are not covered by the law. Payroll records containing name, address, job classification, rate of daily and weekly pay, hours worked, deductions, and actual pay for each employee Equal Pay Act This Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in the wages paid for equal work on jobs that require equal skill, effort, and responsibility and that are performed under similar working conditions. The EPA covers all employers subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Payroll records including time cards, wage rates, additions to and deductions from wages paid, and records explaining sexually based wage differentials Executive Order 11246, OFCCP Rules This order requires government contractors to commit to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action or risk losing government contracts. Government contractors are required to take affirmative action in employment for people with disabilities, veterans with disabilities, and veterans of the Vietnam era. For federal contractors, subcontractors: affirmative action programs, utilization analyses, other supporting documents including applicant logs, wage increases, transfers, promotions and related matters. (Note: It is a good idea to keep these records for as long as possible at least ) 3
4 Fair Labor Standard Act (FLSA) The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), also known as the federal Wage and Hour Law, regulates minimum wages, overtime, equal pay, recordkeeping and child labor for employees of enterprises engaged in interstate or foreign commerce and employees of state and local governments.

INS Form I-9 (Employee Eligibility Verification Form) signed by each newly-hired employee and the employer. Form I-9 must be kept for three years after the worker is hired or one year after termination, whichever is later. Also, keep copies of supporting identification and work authorization documents. 4
5 Family and Medical Leave Act The FMLA (29 USC 2601) requires covered employers to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to eligible employees for a variety of reasons related to family and medical care. While the FMLA is the first comprehensive federal law to require such leave, many states and a handful of localities have had similar laws in effect for some time. Records containing the following information: Basic employee data to include name, address, occupation, rate of pay, terms of compensation, daily and weekly hours worked per pay period, additions to/deductions from wages Dates of leave taken by eligible employees. Leave must designated as FMLA leave For intermittent leave, the hours of leave Copies of employee notices and documents describing employee benefits or policies and practices regarding paid and unpaid leave Records of premium payments of employee benefits Records of any dispute regarding the designation of leave Employee medical records must be kept separately, confidentially.
