Data retention

We must also keep any payroll records, holiday pay, sick pay, and pensions auto-enrolment records for as long as is legally required by HMRC.
In addition to the above, our interest in retaining personal data is often ongoing, meaning that in some circumstances we may retain such data for long periods of time.
