Do I have access to me employee file after I have been terminated
I am trying to file a lawsuit against an ex-employer, and I need to get my employment record. Do they have to give it to me? If so is there a time limit they have to provide me this info? How do I go about requesting the information?

Re: Do I have access to me employee file after I have been terminated
Generally, an employer is not required by law to provide an ex-employee his/her employment records. However, employees of governmental employers may be able to obtain their employment records through the administrative appeals process (stemming from an employment disputes) or through the Opean Records Act.

There is no legal obligation for an employer to provide you with a copy of your employment file. In litigation, however, it is almost certain that you can obtain it in the course of discovery, or compel it to be produced.
