National Summary
There are a wide range of federal and state laws that require employers to retain employee records for a specified period of time. Federal laws with such requirements include everything from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended in 1991. The records that must be kept include everything from wage and hour information, I-9 forms, and records related to job applicants. In addition to the requirements that are generally applicable, there are laws requiring employers in certain industries or occupations to maintain additional records related to their employees. Employers must be aware of requirements specific to their industry and any additional state law requirements as well.
