Do the record retention requirements that apply to paper records also apply to records maintained electronically?
Yes. If records are maintained electronically, contractors must take care to ensure that the electronic records comply with the record retention and access regulations. The OFCCP regulations at 41 CFR 60-1.12, 60-250.80, 60-300.80, and 60-741.80 require that contractors preserve complete and accurate personnel records. The regulations at 41 CFR 60-1.43, 60-250.81, 60-300.81 and 60-741.81 also require that contractors permit OFCCP access to their records, including computerized records, for inspection and copying.
