4 HR Recordkeeping: An Overview 4of 37
5 HR Recordkeeping: An Overview Responsible HR recordkeeping practices begin long before a job candidate walks through your door. And, they extend long after an employee leaves your workforce. 5of 37
6 HR Recordkeeping: An Overview (cont d) What s the ultimate test of the adequacy of your HR recordkeeping practices? Litigation. Trouble spots employers find in litigation range from information omitted in some records and incorrect information in others to sloppy files and even smoking guns proving bias or other illegal behavior. 6of 37
7 HR Recordkeeping: An Overview (cont d) What s a very general rule of thumb for HR recordkeeping? You should retain key personnel records for the duration of an employee s employment plus 5 years some say 7 years. Does the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act change this conventional wisdom? 7of 37

14 Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act 14 of 37
15 Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (2007) U.S. Supreme Court held that pay discrimination claims must be brought within 180/300 days of a pay decision Justice Ginsburg called on Congress to reverse this ruling 15 of 37
16 Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act A new illegal act occurs with each instance of discriminatory compensation Applies to wages, benefits and other compensation Retroactive to the day before Ledbetter was decided by the Supreme Court (May 28, 2007) 16 of 37
17 Current Paycheck v. Current Pay Under Title VII, a plaintiff must prove that a pay decision is discriminatory This is the holding of the Ledbetter Supreme Court decision Fair Pay Act doesn t change this ruling 17 of 37
18 Current Paycheck v. Current Pay Under Title VII, each paycheck affected by an earlier discriminatory decision triggers a new charge filing period Reverses Ledbetter Supreme Court decision Normal 180/300-day charge filing period is inapplicable 18 of 37
19 Responding To The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act Examine and consider revising record retention policies Review and update pay and performance management practices, policies and records Train managers on new risks Conduct compensation self-audit 19 of 37
20 Litigation Retention Guidelines 20 of 37
21 Litigation Retention Guidelines Notice of potential charge or lawsuit triggers additional retention requirements Potential triggers when employer reasonably anticipates litigation Internal complaint Attorney demand letter Notice of filing of EEOC Charge or DOL complaint Notice of filing of lawsuit Discovery request Retention and preservation issues should be addressed at earliest opportunity 21 of 37
22 Litigation Retention Guidelines (cont d) Obligations Locate and secure all relevant documents in existence Ensure ongoing protection and retention of documents to be created Especially if plaintiff is still employed Maintain until final resolution of litigation (all appeals exhausted) or until statute of limitations has expired 22 of 37
23 Consequences Of Failure To Retain Inability to rebut plaintiff s claims or prove part of defense Attorneys fees and costs Exclusion of evidence Adverse inference in jury instructions rebuttable presumption that lost evidence would have been helpful to plaintiff Exclusion of a defense 23 of 37
24 What Are Relevant Documents? Anything relating to plaintiff s claims or employer s defenses Any document that is relevant in the action, is reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, is reasonably likely to be requested during discovery and/or is the subject of a pending discovery request. Zubulake v. UBS Warburg LLC, (Zubulake IV) 220 F.R.D. 212, at 217 (SDNY 2003) 24 of 37
25 Relevant Documents (cont d) Plaintiff s employment records relevant to the claims Plaintiff s personnel file Application and hiring documents Promotion documents Disciplinary records Evaluations Transfers and changes Training records Payroll records Medical records 25 of 37

29 Example Company receives demand letter from plaintiff s attorney Plaintiff works in accounting department and is still employed Plaintiff alleges she was denied promotion to senior bookkeeper based on sex discrimination claims the position was given to Joe Smith Letter threatens litigation if Company does not place plaintiff in senior bookkeeper position and pay her back pay for period she was denied promotion 29 of 37
30 Example (cont d) Existing documents that must be retained Plaintiff s personnel file and all documents concerning her employment All documents relating to the particular position at issue including job description, job posting, documents reflecting decision-making process Joe Smith s personnel file and all documents concerning his employment Personnel file and documents concerning employment of other contenders for the position Personnel files of decision-makers Promotions policies 30 of 37
31 Example (cont d) Ongoing documents to be maintained On a going forward basis, documents created relating to the employment of plaintiff and Joe Smith s relating to plaintiff and Joe Smith Additional documents that might need to be retained or that you want to retain Documents reflecting gender make-up of the accounting department Documents relating to other promotions within the department, particularly if women promoted 31 of 37

33 E-Discovery 33 of 37
34 E-Discovery The Changing Landscape Electronic methods of collecting and storing data are prevalent 70% of corporate records stored electronically and 30% never printed Changes to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure effective 12/01/06 Highly publicized opinion of Zubulake v. UBS Warburg highlights E-discovery is plaintiff s best source of smoking gun also may be helpful to employer 34 of 37
35 Potential E-Discovery Issues Storing electronic data for basic document retention purposes and for litigation Locating relevant electronic data accessible v. inaccessible Preserving electronic data Reviewing electronic data for relevance and privilege Producing electronic data format and cost 35 of 37
36 Smoking Gun s Regarding our company s document retention policy: If [it s] destroyed in the course of normal policy and litigation is filed the next day, that's great.... We followed our own policy and whatever there was that might have been of interest to somebody is gone and irretrievable. In response to a document provided by one of its authors to the CEO of a division of a multi-national company: This is absolute dynamite, not at all what I expected and needs to be destroyed. 36 of 37
