How long must a WGP agency keep employee payroll records according to the new law effective in 2011?

A WGP agency is required to keep employee payroll records for a duration of 6 years in accordance with the law that became effective in 2011. This mandate ensures that the agency has access to comprehensive payroll information for a sufficient time period, which is important for compliance with various labor laws, tax regulations, and potential audits. Maintaining records for 6 years provides adequate coverage for any adjustments, disputes, or reviews that may arise. This practice helps protect both the agency and the employees by ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of payroll and employment records.
