Hi all,

We are an IT company with our internal HRMIS to record all personnel file data of employees. My question is: do we still need to maintain physical personnel files of employees in addition to the digital file we maintain, or can we do away with it?

Is there any notification related to this that specifies physical personnel files need not be maintained if digital files are kept?

Thanks.

You can maintain the digital mode of the documents wherever it is possible. Few documents like workmen register, Employment cards, etc., shall be maintained in physical mode. Even payslips for workmen category shall be issued in physical form.

Hi, In any litigation that arises about workmen disputes, courts call for original documents for evidence. It is good to keep documents for your future reference.

It is always advisable to have physical documentation apart from digital files.

If you ask a preference, I would strongly recommend to maintain all personnel records of employees 'permanently', duly updated periodically authenticated & verified..
