How long do employers keep employment files of past employees.?

I worked for this company 10 years ago and want to reapply for another position currently. Will they most likely still have my previous employment record on file. I only worked there about 2 months. Thanks

How long do employers keep employment files of past employees.?
I know for a fact they keep them (since things are now computerized as opposed to the old booking system) forever. As long as you're in the system you stay there. I've been gone from a company over 10 yrs and they still have my info. Great question too!
Reply:Depends on the company. But if I were you I would play it safe if there's anything on your record that could hurt you.
Reply:I think that they keep their files for at least 7-10 years depending on the company. Now the files may all be mostly converted electronically so they might be able to pull you up very easily. On the app just put that you worked there previously and for how long. good luck!
Reply:If you worked for a company and they ask you on the Application you must tell them or they can fire you at any time if they found out later.
Reply:I am pretty sure employers have to keep employee files forever. And if there isn't anything bad in your file, then definetly apply for the position. you have nothing to loose!


Good Luck
