Authorities

These records are created, used, retained and managed in accordance with the following authorities:

Retention rationale

Human Resources retains file for a longer period (6 years) in the event of appeal, grievance and/or arbitration disputes. Departments retain for 1 year in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act which requires that personal information used to make a decision that directly affects an individual be kept for at least one year.

Retention and filing guidelines

Human Resources arranges these files by bargaining unit and within this grouping by competition number.

Records relating to the successful candidate should be incorporated into the employee’s Personnel File: Non-Academic Support Staff.

In the event that an unsuccessful candidate appeals under university grievance or arbitration procedures or to the Human Rights Commission: retain files until a final decision / resolution is concluded plus one additional year, then destroy.

Status

RRSDA is in force.
