Question of the Week is: Q: How long do I need to keep personnel records? Answer: Oregon law says that you must retain personnel records for at least 60 days after termination. Time records must be kept for at least 2 years, and payroll records must be kept for at least 3 years. However, the statute of limitation for a wage claim is 6 years, and we recommend keeping all employment records for at least 7 years in total, to make sure you have them if you need to defend yourself during a claim.
