Appraisal Rationale:Records in this series must be retained for at least one year after the researcher is terminated by his/her department or faculty, in accordance with the requirements of Section 10(2) of the British Columbia Employment Standards Act, and Section 31 of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy [FOIPOP] Act.Although records kept outside Research Services largely duplicate that which is retained there, they may contain additional information. Therefore, in order to guarantee full compliance with both statutes, offices should also retain those files for a full year after termination. |
