Employers are required by law to keep employment applications for a minimum of one year. Failure to do so does not only constitute a violation of the law, but it also can serve as evidence that employment discrimination has occurred.
Under the IRCA, all employers are required to keep completed I-9 forms on file for every employee hired after Nov. 6, 1986. These records must be retained for at least three years from the date of hire, or one year after termination, whichever is greater.hile federal law requires such records to be kept for a minimum of four years after the date the tax to which they relate becomes due or is paid, whichever is later, California law has a six-year statute of limitations period, so employers should keep such records for a minimum of six years.
