Job history deleted
Need references from HR of old jobs that I worked there, but their helpdesk say data protection rules mean they deleted all the records. I have tax and hmrc papers but new job needs references from HR. I'd be grateful for any help on what I can do. Do businesses really delete all traces of old employees after a few years?
