Hi Noelene

I refuse to use the word 'permanent', the sun goes red dwarf in 4.5 billion
years and it all fries anyway, even pottery shards.

Like some others, I use [a long period of your choosing] plus review. Our
longest period is 99 years plus review, and very few things get that one!

generally across government in Australia personnel files are kept for
something like 75 years after termination. It used to be shorter, but with
asbestosis they don't even get sick for forty years, so it got upped to 75.

A strict legalistic interpretation would require me to have a full time
person phoning ex employees annually to ask if they are dead yet, and I'd
rather not do that on several counts. 75 years covers it.

Cheers

Glenn

These views are mine alone. They may or may not be those of any
previous or present employers or clients. I don't know. If I'd asked and
they'd agreed, I would have signed it "Harry Peck and Co and Glenn".
Or whatever. But I haven't, so I didn't.
