How long do you keep a retired volunteers' file? Also, how long do you keep applications on file for those who don't actually become a volunteer? Thanks!

I too follow our HR department of retirees and term volunteers.  This does create many files- ugg.

I keep applications for one year, also in line with our HR department.

Much like Denise, we also follow our HR policy.  So we are basically keeping the files forever with information in Volgistics and all documents scanned into an electronic record system.  Very soon we will do away with paper records period (my hope is by the end of the year).

Even in the old days records were sent to microfiche.  My how technology has changed. Wonder if there is a reader around that still works.  Haven't had to look anything up there in years.  This was also the HR policy back in the day.
