Retention/Destruction of Payroll Records REVISED MARCH, 2003
It
is the department's responsibility to retain employee payroll
records for a period of four years and work study student
records for a period of six years. Grant funded positions,
records must be retained for two years beyond the completion
of the audit. For example for an employee as of January 2001,
payroll records for non work study would be maintained from
January 1997 through January 2001 whereas work study would
be from January 1995 through January 2001.
