If there is a record (ie unemployment claims paperwork and Dept of health and human services paperwork) that has no retention information in any publication, how long should we retain the document?

If there is a record (ie unemployment claims paperwork and Dept of health and human services paperwork) that has no retention information in any publication, how long should we retain the document?

Basically, 4/5 years is the norm for most states. OSHA will require 30 years if the injury was health and safety related.

Here is a great pdf of a webinar performed by Michigan.gov. (I’m assuming you’re referring to MI law)

At the end of this pdf there are images showing you how to access MI specific laws on records retention.

We also have a records retention section in our HelpDesk for Human Resources Tool-Kit.

Thanks for reaching out. Have a great day!
