The information listed in the retention schedule below is intended as a guideline and may not contain all the records that Genesis at the Crossroads may be required to keep in the future. Questions regarding the retention of documents not listed in this chart should be directed to the Founder. Certain of the documents listed in the chart may not now or in the future be in use by Genesis at the Crossroads (for example, documents related to employees).
