You should consider your own HR and all regulatory agencies requirements before
discarding any employee file information. When we were last inspected by CAP,
they wanted to see the files for all employees listed on our last submission,
plus new additions and they wanted 2 years of data.
Normally I would say at least two years fro any paperwork, but it is always
best to ask your employee document specialists, HR. There are many different
requirements for employee file documentation. If there was a corrective action
issue, then we are required to keep files longer. If the employee was involved
with formalin, xylene or other concentration testing, then the employee records
for the testing results must be kept for 20 years. There are many different
needs to consider before discarding employee files and HR and sometimes Risk
Management will need to be involved and make the decision on discard.

Subject: [Histonet] Competencies
When a Histotech leaves their place of employment - does anyone know if their
competencies need to be kept for any period of time or can the competencies
be disgarded after their departure? Thanks for your help!
