Your personnel file is company property.
You can certainly ask your employer for a copy of the contents of your personnel file, as well as any disciplinary action. Your employer does not, however, have an obligation to give it to you. It is considered the employer's property.
As a practical matter, many employers will allow employees to see the contents of their personnel file. Therefore, feel free to ask, but you will basically be stuck with the answer if the answer is "no."
