The State Record Center, Department of Administration, should be contactedregarding proposed changes or modifications to the records in this schedule, or if activities of anagency require different retention.All retention periods are filed by either the fiscal or calendar year.

APPENDIX 9: GuidelinesINTRODUCTION TO RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULEThis schedule is intended for use within an agency’s records management program.Regardless, until an agency creates a version of this records retention series specific to itsfacilities, these are the accepted and established time frames and limitations that should beadhered to.Retention Schedule HeadingsDefinitionsSeries #Number associated with each schedule typeSeries TitleA general description of the seriesOffice of RecordOffice that commonly creates the record and holds it during its activeperiodRetention PeriodTime to retain the record; life of the recordTransfer InstructionsWhere a record goes after its active periodArchivalA – Indicates the record is or may be permanent and have historicvalueR – Indicates a required review by the Records Manager to determinevalueVitalX – Record is vital for immediate operation of the office of origin or theinstitution.Guidance:Restricted AccessRA – Refers to the security needs of a record series.

Questions about limits should be basedon the type of records, its content and the nature of the requestfor access and use.Records may contain, but are not limited to, confidential, personal orproprietary information.Guidance:AuthoritiesFederal and State laws, regulations or requirements that pertain tothe series. Where not specifically referenced, Idaho Code § 9-337through 9-347 of the Public Records Law has been applied. Note thatthere are exemptions for the access requirements of this law. Thesemay be noted as well.RECORDS MANAGEMENT GUIDEAPPENDIX 9 - Records Retention Schedule for State Government AgenciesA-9-2Revised: 4/08

APPENDIX 9: GuidelinesHOW TO USE THESE SCHEDULESESTABLISHING A SCHEDULEThis schedule assumes that: The person using it is knowledgeable about his/her office or agency’s records; An inventory of the records of the office or agency will be performed; Time will be taken to apply the definitions to the records found on hand; and Records will not be destroyed or reorganized without supervision of the agency’s RecordsManager or consultation with the State Archivist.FUNCTIONS AND TYPES OF RECORDSThis schedule is intended to address records common to most offices and agencies of the Stateof Idaho. Not every type of record listed here will occur in every agency. Some agencies willdiscover they have records that do not appear to fit any of these series. For those records,contact the State Archivist or the agency’s Records Manager for guidance.HIERARCHY OF RECORDS WITHIN AN AGENCYPut simply, not every office holding a copy of a record is holding the record copy. An example istime sheets. The record copy of a time sheet is the one signed and sent to the payroll office. Anycopies kept in other offices to confirm later payroll reports (e.g., proper charges to accounts, etc.)are a short-term record, as are any personal copies in other offices. The Office of Record is thepayroll office.When trying to assess the value of a record in the focus area, bear this concept in mind: Wheredoes the ultimate responsibility for a document, report or record lie? There are instances wherea record has value for different reasons in different offices. This is the primary reason a physicalinventory of records is essential to this process.WHEN A RECORD SHOULD BE RETAINED LONGER THAN ITS RETENTIONDocuments, regardless of format or storage media (e.g., electronic files), associated with anydispute, audit or legal proceeding should not be destroyed or altered without consultation with theagency’s Records Manager, General Counsel, Deputy Attorney General or the State Archivist.CONFIDENTIALITY, RESTRICTED ACCESS AND PUBLIC RECORDSThe need to limit access to a record type does not mean that it is unavailable as a public record. Requests for access to public records should be handled by personnel familiar with therequirements of the laws and regulations that apply to the information requested; andFor some records flagged in this schedule as “RA – Restrict Access,” copies can befurnished where restricted information is blocked out or redacted to make it available to apublic records request. An example is a contract that may be copied if social securitynumber, names, etc., have been obscured.RECORDS MANAGEMENT GUIDEAPPENDIX 9 - Records Retention Schedule for State Government AgenciesA-9-4Revised: 4/08
APPENDIX 9: GuidelinesConcerns about making records available to a public records request should be addressed to theagency’s Records Manager, General Counsel, Deputy Attorney General or the State Archivist.CREATING AN AGENCY’S RETENTION SCHEDULEOnce an inventory is completed and a summary of the record series which occur in the agency’soffice has been compiled, based on this general schedule, a set of decisions will need to bemade to establish the Office of Record for each record type. NOTE: For many common series,like “correspondence,” the Office of Record will probably be the “office of origin” until it is time totransfer the inactive years of material to the State Archives. Other records have obvious“homes,” like payroll records (Accounting or Payroll) and permanent or long-term personnel files(Human Resources). It should be noted that smaller-scale agencies may find that a central officebecomes the Office of Record for many record types because of staffing or the preference of theagency director. For agencies with regional offices around the State, these decisions may seemproblematic. However, with a careful focus on the needs of the offices within an agency and byconsulting the State Archivist, these decisions can be made to the benefit of all.One of the established benefits of records management, with improved accountability of theOffice of Record, is efficiency, in both expense and time, of being able to retrieve a record when itis truly needed, without multiple copies taking up space throughout an agency or an office.HOW TO USE THE RETENTION SCHEDULE FORMATPlease consider the sample inserted below. Microsoft Excel was used to create this version ofthe retention schedule document.
