Employee File is the official personnel record that contains the documents needed to establish a public officer's identity, appointment history, conduct record, leave history, pay-related actions, and other employment facts.
What belongs on the file
The file should contain appointment letters, confirmations, acting and transfer records, performance documents, disciplinary papers, leave decisions, medical and pension-related records where appropriate, and other official employment evidence.

The employee file is often the primary evidence source for audits, pension claims, promotions, and disciplinary review. Incomplete files cause long-tail legal and administrative problems.
