 Personnel File Review Policy

Personnel File Review Policy
An employee may review his or her own file any time during normal business hours. It is preferred that you e-mail the Records Administration Section front desk or call 464-3082 in advance to expedite the process and ensure your file is waiting for you when you arrive. However, walk-in requests for single file review may be accommodated.

Management/supervisory requests to review multiple files for hiring/promotion purposes may be accommodated within two (2) to twenty-four (24) hours, depending on the number of files to be reviewed. Such requests should be e-mailed to the Records Administration Section front desk; include the purpose for your request and a listing of the names of the employees whose files you are requesting.

Employees requesting to review the personnel files of other employees should contact the Records Administration Division at 464-3082. An employee whose file is being reviewed by another employee will be given the option of being present during such review.

Personnel File Copying
Employees may request to have copies made of their files, or the files of co-workers or other County employees, or portions thereof. The policy for having copies made of the files of co-workers or other County employees is similar to that for requesting to review the files of other employees - i.e. the requesting party's management as well as the employee whose file is being copied will be notified. Such requests should be made by phone (464-3082) or e-mail. A charge of $.15 per page will apply. Please allow one (1) week following requests for delivery. Copied files may be picked up at the Human Resources Department - 400 South Ft. Harrison Avenue - Fourth Floor, or forwarded via inter-office mail, or mailed via U.S. mail, per the request of the purchaser. Payment must be received prior to the copying of files, in the form of cash or check made payable to Board of County Commissioners.

Personnel File Update
Please keep in mind that the application in your personnel file is usually the one you completed when you were hired by the County. Subsequent applications completed for promotional positions are not placed in your personnel file. Employees are encouraged to periodically update their personnel files by providing updated resumes and requesting that they be placed in their personnel file.
