This Record Retention Schedule is broadly GCC specific, given that the Data Protection Laws in the region do not specify retention periods in the same way the GPDR does, and it is generally contractually based.

This record retention schedule accompanies and is incorporated into insert organisation's name's Record management policy. It sets out the time periods that different types of [employment-related] business records must be retained for business and legal purposes. This is a relatively lengthy document listing the many types of employment-related records used by insert organisation's name and the applicable retention periods for each record type.

The retention periods are based on business needs and legal requirements. If you maintain any types of records that are not listed in this Schedule, and it is not clear from the existing record types in this Schedule what retention period should apply, please contact the data protection officer OR insert job title or department for guidance.
