Legal Question in Business Law in Pennsylvania

Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania or Federal law apply, unless otherwise specified.

That being said, a former employee does not have the right to see the personnel file. According to the Inspection of Employment Records Law, an employee is anyone currently employed, laid off with reemployment rights or on a leave of absence but not an applicant for employment or anyone else. As you ask about a former employee, unless the employee no longer works for the employer for one of the reasons listed above, then the employee has no right to review the file.
