Employee Rights in obtaining their personel records.
I've asked my employer for an integral copy of my employee file. My manager responded that some of the records are kept locally, others at corporate headquarters (another state) and others are kept electronically. He would like to know what in particular I am looking for. Basically, I want everything my employer has in any format that pertains to myself, and to which I have a right to.
My purpose is to get letters of recommendation from our clients and anything else to help me with a potential new employer - I do not want to disclose my purpose to my current employer.

You do not have a right to the contents of this file. While the file may have your name on it and it contains information regarding you, it is the employer's file. Only exception is when you are working for a public employer.
