Statutory retention periods refer to the legally mandated time frames during which certain types of records and documents must be kept by organizations or individuals. These periods vary by jurisdiction and type of document, such as financial records, employment-related documents, or health records. Compliance with these retention periods is essential for legal, regulatory, and operational reasons, as failing to retain or improperly disposing of required documents can lead to penalties or legal issues. After the retention period expires, entities are typically allowed to dispose of the records safely and securely.
Documents are not subject to a statute of limitations. There are requirements to retain records that vary by state and by the type of record and who owns the record.
