To find out how your company compares with others in your industry, go to www.osha.gov/oshstats/work.html. You will need your companyâs SIC code. You can find âIncidence Rate Calculationâ and âFind Your SIC Codeâ quick links at www.employersclaim.com or www.mycomplink.net.
Store for 1 year: regular statements, pay stubs. Keep either a digital or hard copy of the past yearâs worth of your monthly bank and credit card statements. You should also hold on to pay stubs so that you can use them to verify the accuracy of your Form W-2 when tax season arrives.
Your bank should keep cheques for at least six years. Remember, some banks charge a fee for reproducing statements, so if you need to provide a copy for a lender or the taxman it can prove an unwelcome cost. If you bank through the internet, you might want to print off and keep a hard copy of your statements. It is also a good idea to check with your bank how long statements are available on-line and whether hard copy statements are available.
