Your personnel file contains different types of data. Your employer may retain some data longer than other data.
Sometimes, your employer must keep certain data for a set period of time. In that case, it will be stated in the law. If this is not the case, your employer is generally allowed to retain data for 2 years after you have left the company.
If the data are no longer needed before that date, your employer must remove the data immediately. See also: Retention personnel file.
