A client recently asked how employee files should be organized. We recommend having five separate files for each employee, as outlined here. These files should be kept in a secure location that is only accessible to those in the HR function or those with a legitimate need to review the information—for instance, in locked cabinets inside a locked HR office. This information can be stored electronically if that makes sense for your business. Just make sure that it’s well secured and backed up to prevent data loss.
