Under the recordkeeping regulations of the Department of Labor payroll, including hours worked information must be kept for at least 3 years. In the event there is a claim made then the records must be retained until the dispute is finally resolved. In the context of your question there is no dispute so you can legitimately answer with what you actually have.
You can also consult with an employment lawyer near you to review your recordkeeping obligations related to employee issues.
