A Georgia employee left the licensee on 1 June 2026 after 9 years of service. How long after employment ends must the employee records be retained?
Correct Answer
B) The employee records are held 5 years from the date employment ended
Records required for employees must be maintained for five years from the date the employee is no longer working for the licensee. Other choices: running from hire would end the period while a long-serving employee is still there; destruction on departure is the opposite of the rule; and the period does not track length of service.
