Record Keeping: Old employees

[westie]

hi, Just updating staff records and wondered whether I need to keep all records from old employees?

 

Would it be sufficent just to keep a record of the dates the staff member was employed and shred the rest?

 

Thanks

I think I'd keep CRB number, PAYE number, full name, address, job description and hours, just in case anyone says years later X did this, when your records show X didnt do those hours, if you see what I mean.

Hi - copied from the HMRC website on PAYE record keeping:-

How long you need to keep records for

 

You must keep your records for the current and previous three tax years.

I hope some of my previous employers have kept records.

 

I'm just filling in an application form for a new job. when I asked if they really wanted all the jobs I'd done or only what was relevant to the position I was applying for, she said to put them all down FROM SECONDARY SCHOOL !!!!!

 

Now being a mature person, that was an awful long time ago!
