Question: Do old job descriptions need to be kept on file once they have been updated?

Answer: Numerous state and federal laws (Title VII, FEHA, ADA, and ADEA) have retention requirements for specific documents made in, or in collection with, employment. Based on those requirements, we advise keeping all recruitment, hiring, and job placement records (including old job descriptions) for four years in case of potential misclassification claims. You should check with your accountant or financial advisor regarding the length of retention of payroll and other financial records, but we recommend no less than four year retention.
