Can an employee receive his employee personal file? After leaving the company?
Whether or not an employee can see, or receive a copy of, their personnel file depends on what state they are in. Some states require it; others do not. Even some states which do permit it, put a time limit on when a former employee retains that right.
Once that window has closed, or if the state grants the employer the right to control whether the employee sees/is sent a copy of their file or not, then the only way to compel an employer to provide it is with a subpoena.
If you can provide the name of your state, I can give you your state's law.
