Description, purpose and use of records

Records made or received and used by Human Resources and departments to document a continuing, non-academic employee’s employment history, from appointment to retirement or termination. A continuing employee is one whose contract has no fixed end date.

Records include correspondence, memoranda and email; application forms, resumes and CVs, appointment forms and letters; staff requisition and status change forms, leave notices, vacation calculations, letters of resignation, and termination notices.

A personnel file for each non-academic employee is maintained by both Human Resources and the employee's department. Documents relating to pension and benefits are maintained on file, but kept separate from other records.
