● Affirmative action plans
The plan generally must be kept for the
duration of the federal contract. Records
of complaints should be kept at least one
year. Documentation of good faith efforts
and support data are kept for two years.
● Building contracts
The Davis-Bacon Act requires most federal
construction
contractors
and
subcontractors to keep employee records,
including payroll records, during the course
of the contract work and for three years
after final payments and all other pending
matters close.
Independent Contractors:
Employers often utilize independent
contractors as part of their workforce.
Independent contractors are just that,
contractors, not employees, and their files
should not be kept with employee
personnel records.
