Ineffective recordkeeping is a waste of time, space and money. Large, overstuffed file cabinets are no longer necessary. They have been replaced in the modern office by electronic data storage and archiving.

However, managers must still manage databases. Learn how long records must be kept, the information they must contain, and how to effectively manage an electronic database.

The logistics of payroll record keeping can be daunting. At least a dozen state and federal regulatory agencies require access to your records. All have different requirements as to content and storage requirements. Electronic records are ok in some cases, paper required in others. In some instances, you have to keep the records forever.

Records come from various departments, offices, sources, etc. They vary as to content, form and source. How do you store them? How do you guarantee authenticity? How do you keep them confidential? How do you make sure they are available when you need them? Most importantly, what information should they contain?
