Administration Retention Schedule

01– ADMINISTRATION

01.01

Duplicate records, publications, and reference material, kept in tangible or electronic form for convenience only, for example:

• Miscellaneous notices, announcements, or memoranda, such as "All Staff" emails, messages on upcoming special events
• Multiple duplicate copies of reports, or project or committee minutes, agendas, etc.
• Preliminary drafts that do not form significant stages in the preparation of a final document and do not record official decisions
• Personal or business messages with limited or no operational value (e.g. "Let's meet for lunch", "Please return call"...)
• Publications, reference material and software: administrative manuals, directories, catalogues, newsletters, pamphlets, periodicals, conference materials and handouts
• Blank forms, duplicate examination and test papers, and surplus diplomas
• Unsolicited advertising (brochures, fliers, etc)

Note: where another schedule covers drafts or working papers, the other schedule applies to such records. In the absence of an approved schedule that specifically applies to drafts and working papers, and where such documents relate to significant policy or planning matters, this schedule does not apply.
