I understand that records of employees working time must be kept for a minimum of 2 years, but what about ex-employees? Do I have to keep records for people who have left my employ, or can I scrap them?
I would say you still have to keep them for the two years. This is from the VOSA site.
Section 6 - Record keeping
Records need to be kept for 2 years after the end of the period in question.
The employer is responsible for keeping working time records, making the records available for inspection and informing employees of their responsibilities.My reading of that is the records must be kept regardless of whether the person is till employed or not. I guess it is the same as tacho discs, they have to be retained even if the drivers leaves your employment.
Thanks Coffee, I thought as much but was hoping that I could clear some space. Oh well!
