Data & docs: EEOC, PAGA, etc.

Once a claim or investigation is reasonably anticipated, employers have a duty to preserve relevant employee data and documents.

That duty covers what sits in retired payroll systems, former vendor archives, and exports on a shared drive, in addition to what's in your current HRIS. A retention schedule that deletes on time can work against you once a hold is in place.

Here's what to know about litigation holds and payroll records.

Does your hold process cover systems you've already retired?

Best,
