No federal law grants employees the right to inspect their personnel files. However, many states do give employees such rights and spell out the terms under which employees are allowed to inspect those files.
For example, Nevada law gives immunity to employers that disclose the following information: The ability of the employee to perform the employee's job; The diligence, skill or reliability with which the employee carried out the duties of the employee's job; or. An illegal or wrongful act committed by the employee.

Company Name employee files are maintained by the human resource (HR) department and are considered confidential. Managers and supervisors, other than the HR director and his or her subordinates, may only have access to personnel file information on a need-to-know basis.
An employee's personnel file usually contains information related to their performance, salary, and any investigations of misconduct or medical issues. As a result, these records are generally considered private and can be accessed by only the employer and the employee.
As a suggestion, you may want to set up a company policy that the only people that are allowed to access an employee's personnel record are the human resources manager, the employee's supervisor or manager, and the employee himself.
