Application retention

Min

Could anyone give me a good source to look at regarding employment application retention time periods. I was informed that if you do not interview the applicant you keep it for one year, if you do interview you need to keep it for two years. Any "written" info would be greatly appreciated.

There's a good article listing all of the requirements,"When can you clean house?" It was in the March 2001 Washington Employment Law Letter, in case you subscribe. You can also find the article at [url]http://www.hrhero.com/headlines/011601/records.shtml[/url]
