If I'm ready what u are saying right, somehow what has been purged and expunged will somehow reappear. This sound almost impossible.(if its purged its gone ,erased, right?) Has this colgan law passed? When did it go in effect? What is the time frame for implimentaion ? Is it retroactive? That sound costly and very time consuming. I'm just trying to get all this straight and appreciate your help and time.
There is no law that says you HAVE to purge your records after five years, and no large company would ever do that voluntarily...they need those records in case they get sued or have an accident. There's no such thing as a "PRIA Record"...it's just a law that says companies have to make certain employee records available to other employers...the records in question include required 121 training records and employee disciplinary records. I would assume that any 121 company keeps it's records forever (if they stay in business).
The custodian for a BK company might have purged them, but they might not. You would have to do some legwork to find out.
There are a variety of "colgan" rules and laws either passed or pending...the rule extending the five year window to forever took effect a couple of months ago.
