I'm really stunned about the 50 & 75 year retention periods. The State of Colorado, which I always considered to be pretty conservative about this stuff says 10 years after separation. Our H.R. director asked me to try to get it reduced to 3 years after separation, but the State wouldn't budge.  Suddenly, 10 years sees pretty reasonable.  75? Wow.

The 5 year retention in Virginia is for personnel records of classified employees listed in the Personnel Management Information System (PMIS) database maintained by the Department of Human Resources Management.  For those not listed or for locality personnel records, the retention is 50 years.
