Timesheets
If you’re not keeping mandatory employee records for at least 7 years then you’re also exposing you and your business to risks such as big fines and penalties, damaging employee claims and expensive back-pay orders.
What records must Employers keep
Employers have to keep time and wages records for 7 years.
Time and wages records have to be:
- Readily accessible to a Fair Work Inspector
- Legible
- In English
If records aren’t kept or are incorrect, Fair Work Inspectors can issue employers with an on-the-spot fine, called an infringement notice.
It is unlawful for employers to make or keep employment records that they know are false or misleading.
