- A company may keep employee records in many acceptable forms.
Most employee records may be kept either on paper, microfiche, magnetic tape, or electronically. If the relevant information is always available during working hours and is retrievable on demand, these are usually acceptable forms of records storage.
Keeping a duplicate hard copy of employee records in a secure location for easy access in case electronic access is impaired is usually advisable. It’s a good idea to shred all hard copy out-of-date personnel file records twice — ribbon and crosshatch.
