Wisconsin law requires that an employer provide an employee, upon his or her request, with a copy of the employee’s file, also called a “personnel file.” A Wisconsin employer must provide the personnel file to current and former employees upon their request.
This post describes how a Wisconsin employee can go about requesting his or her personnel file.
Please note (1) this post is not referring to any State’s requirements other than Wisconsin’s: many states outside Wisconsin have their own particular personnel file requirements; and (2) this post does not provide legal advice- if you want legal advice, you should contact an attorney and discuss your specific circumstances.
