Request for Leave Slips

I was talking with our payroll person who is a paperwork fanatic. I noticed that she had reams and reams of old request for leave slips. I asked her how long she kept these and she replied "forever". It's my understanding that it's not necessary to keep anything to do with Wage and Hour (and I assume Paid Time Off Requests) at the most, three years.

Am I missing something here or should we rent a warehouse for these leave slips?

  • Yikes.... I encourage department directors to keep this sort of thing for only 12 months. I've had the issue surface for an EEO compaint (hence the 12 mo time frame), but never beyond that. The actual request for time-off is not nearly as crucial (for litigation purposes) as the time sheet showing an absence. At the very least, I think you can save some expense renting the warehouse.....
