So first item of action is to create a file for “Attendance & Leave records, DAN number and a date or something that will trigger the appropriate cut-off or reminder, tag, flag or method you will use for disposition. ERM- Washington State Archives
Then, build a structure appropriate for ease of use and bearing in mind retention and disposition efforts. You don’t need a single “bucket” for each little bit – larger buckets make for easier and more efficient management, but one huge bucket doesn’t work well either – you may end up keeping items that may be subject to disposal for longer than necessary, and if a litigation hold is in effect you have the keep the whole thing as opposed to the more pertinent information.

You can then set up different folders as needed for the different types of leave or attendance records. Leaping Lizards! E-mails & Electronic Records Management
You can set up as many file folders as needed within the records series to meet your agency needs. Try to limit it though, and use “bigger buckets” if you can. Again, retention and disposition is simpler when you can manage larger “groups” of records together. Leaping Lizards! E-mails & Electronic Records Management
Here’s another example. You can call these by any number of names suitable to your agency needs, just be sure the description fits and the appropriate DAN is utilized for retention and dispostion. ERM- Washington State Archives
You can also set up and drill down into different subjects within a particular file folder as well. Leaping Lizards! E-mails & Electronic Records Management
