I know that employees have the right to see their personnel files but can anyone please advise if there is a time limit in which we have to provide them? Ie, can they demand to see the file there and then or can we give it to them with notice, ie 24 hours or what is the legal time frame? Do employees have to put their request in writing, are they allowed to take their files away or could we just copy the information required? Please can you let me know the legal & good practice positition?
Many thanks.
