🚨

Missing document alerts

KornerIQ tracks required documents against each employee profile and flags missing items — so you know before an inspection, not during one.

🔒

Encrypted and access-controlled

Documents are encrypted at rest and in transit. Role-based access control means only authorised staff can view each employee records. Full audit trail of every access and modification.

📊

Retention period tracking

UK employment law requires different documents to be kept for different lengths of time. KornerIQ tracks the required retention period for each document type and flags when review or deletion is due.

📄

Instant search and audit trail

Find any document in seconds by employee name or document type. Every access and change is logged — so you always know who viewed or modified a record.

UK Document Retention Requirements

UK employment law requires employers to keep different documents for different lengths of time. Keeping records for too short a period creates legal exposure; keeping them too long is a UK GDPR breach. KornerIQ tracks all retention periods automatically.

Frequently asked questions

What employee documents must UK employers keep?

UK employers must keep employment contracts (duration + 6 years), right-to-work check evidence (duration + 2 years), payslips (3 years), pension records (6 years), and disciplinary records (duration + 6 years). KornerIQ tracks retention periods for each document type.

Is document storage GDPR compliant?

Yes. All documents are encrypted at rest and in transit. Role-based access controls prevent unauthorised access. A full audit trail records every access and change — meeting UK GDPR security requirements.

How long must right-to-work documents be kept?

Right-to-work evidence must be kept for the duration of employment plus 2 years. This applies to every employee regardless of how long they worked — even a one-day trial requires 2 years of post-employment retention.

Can employees access their own documents?

Yes. Employees can be granted access to view their own payslips and personal records, without accessing other employees files. This supports Subject Access Request compliance under UK GDPR.

What file types are supported?

KornerIQ accepts PDF, JPEG, PNG and Word document uploads — covering all major employment document formats including scanned passports, signed contracts, payslip PDFs and training certificates.
