However, because we are spread out geographically, the <br /> Public Works Department also maintains a mirror file in Public Works <br /> Administration. A separate medical file is kept in accordance with the Americans <br /> with Disabilities Act (ADA). Access to personnel files is limited to supervisors and <br /> those clerical employees who need to maintain the files. Employees can request to <br /> review their own file, or can authorize a union representative or legal representative <br /> to review their file. <br /> ,The Public Works Department has implemented a practice that all items being <br /> placed in the employees personnel file must first come to the HR coordinator in <br /> Administration, prior to anything being sent to HRRS. <br /> The AFSCME contract requires that an employee be made aware of any item <br /> regarding performance or discipline being placed in an employees personnel file. <br /> To ensure this, these documents must include the employee's signature indicating <br /> their knowledge of them before they are filed. <br /> Actions to Comply: <br /> Evaluator Suggestions: <br /> APWA Self Assessment - 4fh Edition # 2.37 Page 7 of 2 <br /> _ _ _ <br /> <br />
