In which states do employee have the right to view the HR file?

There is no state where an employee must be permitted to view his or her HR file.

In one or two states (Missouri, if memory serves, and perhaps one other) if an employee requests a copy of the HR file, the employer must provide it. The employer can charge the employee a reasonable fee for copying the file (such as 10 cents per page) but must supply the copy.

However, in the overwhelming majority of states, the HR files are the employers property and can only be viewed or copied if the employer is issued a subpoena. If you have a question about a specific state, please feel free to post it.
