has announced the addition of the "Personnel Records: What to Keep,
What to Toss (Executive Summary)" report to their offering.

Poor records management can deplete profits and expose your
company to compliance actions and legal liability. Taming the Paper
Monster reveals why every company needs a formal records-management
program and shows you how to develop the right system for your firm.

Learn answers to critical retention and disposal questions for
personnel records.

Get rules for developing records-retention policy for disciplinary
documentation, performance evaluations, workplace investigations and

If you keep everything, you could be liable for not complying with
the Federal Trade Commission's "disposal rule," which requires you to
dispose of paper and electronic records used in applicants' credit
checks in a reasonable way. If you keep nothing, you're virtually
guaranteeing that you'll lose every legal battle.

case and bring the costly legal process to a swift and satisfying
conclusion. Make sure you're ready with Personnel Records, What to
Keep, What to Toss.

disciplinary letters, attendance records, leave requests,
medical-related data, employment agreements, payroll records, salary
information, benefits information and more.
