HR Records: How, What, Where, Why | 2/11
Virtual Class
Number of Seats Available: 25The older a company gets, the more records it is required to generate and retain. Unfortunately, many employers are unaware of when and why records should be created, what records must be retained, and where and how they must be stored.
This course will help you find a balance between efficient administration and complying with all the legal requirements where an employer is held accountable.
After completing this course, participants will be able to:
- Conduct an audit of their record retention process
- Understand the different legal requirements for the storage of employee information, including medical and immigration information
- Determine when to shred personnel records or other information related to employees
- Understand requirements related to retention of job applications
- Prepare a record retention policy
Note: HR Records is offered as a stand-alone class and is also one module in our two-day HR Fundamentals course.
Our live, instructor-led classes are designed for, and rely on, active participation to ensure a quality learning experience. Because of this, these sessions will not be paused and will not be recorded for future use or reference.
Technology Minimums for Attending Virtual Training
Archbright provides virtual training to our members so that they can attend courses from most anywhere, but each attendee must ensure that they are working from a location that has the necessary connectivity to the internet to facilitate participation.
Internet connectivity minimums
To ensure that you have a positive experience attending an Archbright University virtual course, you should verify that your internet connectivity provides a minimum of 5 Megabits per second (Mbps) in upload speed. Most internet packages for home-use are advertised by their download speed and not upload speed, and while this can be important for streaming movies or music, it isn’t the only consideration. For using WebEx, Skype for Business, or any VTC solution, the upload speed is just as important as the download speed.
How can I tell what I currently have?
If you are unsure what you currently have, please reach out to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and request the information directly.
If they are unable to give you that information, please visit www.speedtest.net while connected to the internet in the same manner you intend to attend the virtual training…and perform a speed test.
Wireless technology minimums
Additionally, if you connect wirelessly, as many of us do, make sure your wireless router can broadcast at the same speed as your upload speed, if not even higher.
Wireless routers can broadcast at over 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) these days, and many companies don't upgrade your router when you upgrade service. This often means that your wireless speeds are significantly lower than the upload speed that is available to you. This can cause significant issues with using WebEx over your wireless connection.
Other considerations
Remember that each device connected to the internet in your location is taking some of that download and upload capability and wireless connectivity. If you have many devices in your network, it is recommended to have significantly higher speeds to accommodate the increased traffic.
Please contact your internal IT team if you have any questions.
