As a "newbie" to the Listserve and to Records Management I ask your
indulgence in my question.

I work for a Fortune 100 Company and we currently retain vested personnel
records 6 years after the end of financial obligation and non-vested
personnel records for 6 years after termination. I would like some guidance
on what type of information other organizations are using when they index
their personnel files and how long do your organizations retain personnel
records.

Also, must you retain the original or can you image (legally?) personnel
files and archive them accordingly?  If imaged, what is the quality of the
image?  Does anyone know the ratio of lost data when personnel files are
imaged?
