A Personnel File is a collection of documents that contains important information about an employee's work history and performance. This file typically includes items such as the employee's resume, job application, performance evaluations, and records of any disciplinary actions. It serves as a comprehensive record for both the employee and the employer, helping to track career progress and compliance with company policies. Personnel files are maintained by the Human Resources (HR) department and are used for various purposes, including promotions, salary reviews, and legal compliance. Access to these files is usually restricted to authorized personnel to protect the privacy of the employee.
