HR Home › Forums › Answer for I’m looking for a sample record retention policy and the legislated requirements to keep employee files/payroll records (including vacation info) for employees (current and terminated), in all provinces/territories (since we are a national organization).
HRI has some excellent resources on HR and payroll records requirements:
