David-

In our case, we're Contractors to a Federal Agency... so it's their
retention model we have to follow.  And personnel files are very
structured- the items that are maintained are very well defined.

There are a number of reasons for the lengthy retention, including any
potential or possible exposure to hazardous materials which is established
to satisfy any health claims after separation, by the employee, or their
heirs, for up to two generations.

I'm sure as a County, the State has to be the one who determines the
retention requirements when it comes to things like personnel records.
