We are moving to electronic archiving and the only items we haven’t scanned in yet are employment documents such as Conditions of Employment, TFN declarations, etc.
Are these also able to be kept in electronic copy without maintaining the original paper copies? I want to make sure we will meet both audit and ATO requirements.
What are examples of pressing domestic necessity that would meet the criteria of an employee resigning between the 5–10 years to access long service leave?
