"Hi folks I’m trying to find out how long a company will hold records on me. It’s to do with a role I held in 2005 to 2006. All help appreciated " Thought you asked this yesterday By law they have to keep it 10 years. The personal stuff may now be achieved. There will still be a trail you worked there at that time. Obviously something is bothering you about this as its the 2nd post in many days and the dates are specific Best advice ask citizens advice | |||

"I'd get specific professional advice relevant to northern Ireland (assuming the job was based there) as there are often differences in how the law is applied in Northern Ireland " The job was based in UK | |||

"This is your 2nd request in as many days so it sounds a bit more complex than you are letting on! In general terms, companies in the UK retain employee records for at least 6 years, especially relating to Tax & similar matters. Some companies will retain information for longer. That's companies based within the UK; any based in Eire or in Europe will have different rules. Sounds like you need to speak to either Citizens Advice or through them, to an Employment specialist lawyer. Also, try ACAS who can supply details." it is yes. | |||

Make a request and they will be s..t scared of getting fined so they will be helpful. Different info requires company's to hold it for different time periods ie CCTV, the sign in book in reception Your cv are all different | |||

Legally, payroll is the same as non public accounts - 3 tax years plus current. Most companies do nothing to delete older records though. Even working in a bureau with thousands of payrolls, we've not had one data deletion request from an employer, even since GDPR. | |||

"I think no one knows really. There does not seem to be a hard and fast rule on it " There is. Its covered by the GDPR that came into effect this year. Go to the information commissioners office website and read up on it. The reality is though that most companies will keep things for longer if their destruction policy isn't adhered to. Your best bet is to submit a data subject access request to the companies head office and request any and all information pertaining to yourself. It used to cost about a tenner but think it has to be free now. | |||

Are you specifically ignoring all the people that are telling you there is? GDPR superceded the data protection act and specifically sets out employers obligations on data retention! Google it, educate yourself! | |||

" There are many clauses covering document retention. The base deadline can be extended if the employment falls under certain EH&S legislation such as exposure or potential exposure to noise, vibration or asbestos for example. There is an obligation to retain documents where legal clauses dictate, such as potential liability for personal injury claims. The fact that you worked for them is likely to be on record in any event and that fact is not subject to GDPR changes. There is much more to consider than merely GDPR, and even that has a plethora of get out clauses. | |||

They may or may not have records. In my logical simple mind GDRP states records should be keep for 6 years after leaving employment. But over and the over again in this tread I’m Being told they may still Have records. In my simple mind how can they LEGALLY hold documents on me when legislators introduced GDRP in 2018 and states records should not be held after 6 years. | |||

"Come on op tell us what you've done ! Bosses wife ? Bosses daughter ? "Ok. So In a nut shell I omitted employement from a cv. I applied for a job in which after interview I’ve been successful. The company I’ve been successful with now owns the company i worked with in 2005. My question is will the company retain those records from 2005? Yes I was wrong to omit it (i don’t need the moral lecture). The reason was I had to resign due to medical reasons and oftem it’s easier to omit it Than explain. So my question is simple will the company from 2005 still hold my records? They’ve been bought over twice since 2005. | |||

" Because, as you have previously been told, there are additional clauses which cover a multitude of scenarios. What GDPR does not cover in any shape or form is that they may well have a record of the fact that you were employed. The personnel files and more detailed information will come under GDPR, but there may be legitimate reasons well within the requirements of GDPR which will permit them retention rights beyond the six years. | |||
