There are separate internal rules for every organization and even it is State to State and department to department of Govt. is separate. However, some help may be taken from the following chart:
It is a good idea to keep records for six years (five in Scotland) to cover the time limit for bringing any civil legal action against you, including national minimum wage claims and contractual claims.
| Type of record | Statutory retention period |
|---|---|
| Workplace accidents | Three years after date of last entry. There are specific rules on recording incidents involving hazardous substances. |
| Payroll | Three years after the end of the tax year they relate to |
| Statutory maternity, adoption and paternity pay | Three years after the end of the tax year they relate to |
| Statutory sick pay | Three years after the end of the tax year they relate to |
| Working time | Two years from date on which they were made |
| National minimum wage | Three years after the end of the pay reference period following the one that the records cover |
| Retirement benefits schemes - notifiable events, eg relating to incapacity | Six years from the end of the scheme year in which the event took place |
