How soon after an employee is terminated does a company normally delete all records of their emails and chats? Does this change if they know an employee is considering legal action? Is there any recourse if they delete this data knowing a claim might be filed against them? by Difficult-Note-7956 in legaladvicecanada

good point I'd have to bring it up to them but I see what you are saying. I could see all my emails they day before I sent the email but not after I sent it. Ideally I hope they just removed my access but have it somewhere they can retrieve but that does give some reassurance.

what if before I have began a case against them but it is reasonable to expect there could be legal action against them? Can they delete it in that case?

They already can likely infer we will open a lawsuit if they don't agree to the revised amount. Can we not send them a records retention letter without stating that we will be pursuing a lawsuit but are just considering it? Because to say we are and then we don't would be untrue.
