<The employees' copy is still a Company record, but does not need to be
retained - in fact, it can be detrimental for the Company and the
individual to have copies of some records.>
This is why I was taught (back before Moses hid in the bulrushes) that
all records should be accounted for on a retention schedule. That is,
extra copies of record types should have some type of retention
assigned. For example:
Expense reports
Finance copy of record, retain 5 years after payment made.
All other copies, retain no more than 1 year after payment made.
