Documents in electronic format shall be maintained just as hard copy or paper documents are, in accordance with the Document Retention Schedule. Due to the fact that the integrity of electronic documents, whether with respect to the ease of alteration or deletion, or otherwise, may come into question, the Administrator shall attempt to establish standards for document integrity, including guidelines for handling electronic files, backup procedures, archiving of documents, and regular checkups of the reliability of the system; provided, that such standards shall only be implemented to the extent that they are reasonably attainable considering the resources and other priorities of the Company.

 

It shall be the responsibility of the Administrator, after consultation with counsel, to determine how privacy laws will apply to the Company’s documents from and with respect to employees and other constituencies; and to establish reasonable procedures for compliance with such privacy laws.

 

Documents shall be stored in a safe and accessible manner. Documents which are necessary for the continued operation of the Company in the case of an emergency shall be regularly duplicated or backed up and maintained in an off-site location. The Administrator shall develop reasonable procedures for document retention in the case of an emergency.

 

The Administrator shall discuss with staff the ways in which documents are created or generated. With respect to each employee or Company function, the Administrator shall attempt to determine whether documents are created which can be easily segregated from others, so that, when it comes time to destroy (or retain) those documents, they can be easily culled from the others for disposition.
