Access to Personnel File

Employees and former employees have the right to access their personnel files. It is important that you store and maintain personnel records in a manner that is required by law.¹

The law also specifically details where and how the records must be made available, including copies, what information can be excluded or redacted from the file, and penalties for failure to comply. The law lists employee rights and employer obligations.
