Legal Question in Employment Law in Arizona

I work for a major hospital here in Phoenix. A employee wrote a letter, 4 pages, to HR about a disagreement we had. He did not file a grievence, but just submitted a letter and asked that I no longer talk to him. I was called into HR and told that I could no longer talk to him and that everything he wrote happened during off time from the hospital. I asked for a copy of this letter and was told by HR that I could not have it. Since it was about me, I would like a copy to see if there is any defamation of character in it. Does HR have the right to not let me see that letter? Sincerely, Kellie Bell [email protected]

Thank you very much for the inquiry. Unfortunately, unless the hospital for which you work is a government-run institution, they have no obligation to provide any of the documents in your personnel file.
