Disciplinary actions, which are the only type of documents that will be considered for removal, must remain in the employee’s personnel file for a minimum of five (5) years.
Requests to remove disciplinary actions from an employee’s personnel file must be submitted in writing to the department director that initiated the action or the current department director. If approved by the department director concurrence must also be obtained from the Human Resources Department Director prior to removing documentation from the employee’s personnel file.
