Retention of Time and Attendance Records


FAXquestions whether time and
attendance (T&A) reports should
be retained more than 3 years in
order to adjudicate claims subject
to 6-year statute of limitations.
Without additional information,
we would not recommend any change
in the General Records Schedule 2
with regard to extending reten-
tion period for T&A reports from
3 to 6 years.


2. Where claims have been filed by or
    against the Government, records
    must be retained without regard to
    record retention schedules until
    the claims are settled or the
    agency has received written
    approval from GAO. See---4*- -. C.
    5 3309.

 3. ,here an agency destroys .&A
     reports al8er 3 years, the a:ency
     c.ay not then deny claims of nore
     than 3 veac-s on the basis of
     absence of official records.
     Claims are subject to a 3-ycar
     statute of limirations, and pecti-
     nent payrcol1 i.uformation Tiay be
