Personnel Files

 
It’s important to have a personnel file for every employee. There needs to be a place to collect documentation related to each employee. There are many documents that should be included in a personnel file as well as kept on file elsewhere. Employment applications should be kept in the personnel file. However, I-9 forms should not be, as there is information on the form that supervisors or managing employees should not have access to. These forms should be kept in a separate place, readily available for a potential audit. All discipline documentation should be kept in the personnel file, from notes on a verbal discussion to a written warning, it should all be included. Medical information and regular personnel file documents should also be kept in the personnel file.

In this 11-minute video our speaker, Calvin R. House, Esq., reviews employee access to personnel files and how the rules vary by jurisdiction. Personnel files need to be treated as confidential and he discusses specific principles to follow.

Calvin R. House, Esq. is a partner in the Pasadena, California law firm of Gutierrez, Preciado & House, LLP, where he defends and counsels employers on employment law matters. He has tried scores of employment cases to federal and state juries and judges, and administrative tribunals. Mr. House conducts regular seminars and workshops on such employment law topics, as wage and hour requirements, mandatory leave statutes, reasonable accommodation of disabilities, discrimination, harassment and wrongful termination.
