Client Alert: Update to California Employer Requirements When Furnishing Personnel Records

Beginning January 1, 2026, California will expand the types of personnel file documents that employers must provide to current and former employees upon request. In addition to existing requirements to disclose records related to performance or grievances, employers will also need to make available any education or training records they maintain, including details such as the training provider, dates, duration, core competencies covered, and any resulting certifications. Employers must continue to furnish requested records within 30 days of a written request.
