Are former employees entitled to copies of their employee file?

You are ENTITLED to review the contents of your HR file.  You may have the option to pay for copies of the contents.  In the state of Florida, the employer may charge a "reasonable" rate for copying the documents as well as an administrative fee for the time it takes the individual to copy the documents.

The ones that I have sent and have been sent for me have been hard copies.  These were sent after the resume was reviewed and not included with the resume.

Your employer should've a copy of your W-2

Yes, absolutely. When writing for references, most company's are interested in when you worked there, what you did, how often you were sick and if you were sacked or resigned.\n\nYour personnel records held by your former company will hold all of that. You could then use your previous boss as a personal reference.

Do not bring it up unless asked.\n\nYour former employer BY LAW is only allowed to verify the dates of employment, position and compensation....that is LAW.\n\nHowever....some employers will take liberties and attempt to blacken your name.\n\nHave a friend call your former employer under the guise of a hiring manager for XYZ company...and have them ask about your employment etc. You will then have a heads up on the type of answer/reference your former boss is handing out to the people calling in. It is better to know up front than not at all...\n\nBest of Luck.\nBTW...take the lesson learned from your experience and avoid making the same mistake at your next place of employment.

You should ask for a copy and take it to a Lawyer to have him/her check over the legal ramifications of the document and if your company has any right in doing so.

Yes, they can.  Just access your Trash Folder.  It deletes periodically, but if you're lucky, your files will still be there.

While you worked there, you were entitled to have a copy of absolutely anything you signed (which you probably signed your corrective action).  You are entitled to view every last thing in your file regarding any grievances/proof/documentation the company had against your performance (except for anything related to any criminal investigation had they been conducting one).  You can try to call their bluff and contact them stating that you would like to see copies of what you signed and documents related to your performance.  I think they have the right to deny you since you no longer work there.  I worked with a lawyer in a claim I am not allowed to say details of.  Marc Levine was my lawyer - a great wrongful termination/discrimination/sexual harrassment/workplace grievances lawyer.  I have nothing but great things to say about him.  He works on a purely contingency basis so you only pay him if you win the claim or settle out of court.  I will give you his number if you want it so that you can see if you have a claim.  I think he will be able to subpeona those documents should it go that far.  He will be able to tell you what to do next.

Does my employer count?

Absolutely! its written in the law. Even if you are still working there, at anytime, you can ask to see your employee file from Human Resources, and ask for corrections from any mistakes. They cannot fire you because you wanted to see your file. If they do, contact a lawyer. Good Luck.

You need to request copies from the employers who gave them to you.

Not 100% sure.  The law says they must have a legitimate reason to access your records.  I'm sure they are checking for your last address and employment history.\n\nI'm gonna bet it's legal though.  ;(

Ask them for a copy.  They should have it on file.

Good luck with that.  Legally, all a former employer can confirm is dates of employment.  Anything else will violate EOE standards.  But, proving something was said will be impossible as neither side would have any reason to fess up to any in depth conversation.

Probably not, unless they can't find you.  You could always say you gave notice.  In my experience big companies don't always keep the best records.  \n\nGood luck, that will teach you to give notice.
