You need to keep employee records as long as you may need them for tax records. I would say at least 2 or 3 years to make sure everything was process properly and the IRS doesn't have issues with any of it. If you use employee attendance software, most programs will be able to store the information on your computer for many years, as long as you would need it, in case you ever need to pull it up again.
