Personnel Records

As you hire more employees, it becomes more important to keep individual employee files. With other business issues on your mind, you will not want to rely on your memory for the following important information:

• The date they began working for your business
• Their starting and current rate of pay
• When they had their last pay raise
• Their resume and references
• Performance appraisals including whether they have met sales or production targets
• Their overall work attitude
• Customer and co-worker compliments and complaints
• Attendance records including how often they are late for work and how much sick or injury time they take
• Outstanding holiday pay or holiday time.
