We recently fired someone working on-site in Las Vegas Nevada. He has since gotten in touch with me and requested a copy of his personnel file and a statement explaining his termination. He has beenvery honest and told me he is already in touch with a lawyer and it is his lawyer that told him to call and ask for those documents. Do we legally have to give him those documents or should we wait for his lawyer to call and request them?
Thanks |

My understanding of Nevada law is that upon his WRITTEN request, you are required to provide him with a letter outlining the reasons for his termination.
I could not find anything stating that you were required to send him a copy of his personnel file. |

I would consult with an attorney ASAP. You do not state the reason why your company terminated this employee, but clearly the employee is willing to pursue the matter. You should find out about your company's rights and responsibilities before the lawsuit starts. Your attorney will also be able to advise you about the wisdom or duty to give a copy of the personnel file.
All other things being equal, I tend to give these documents over to the former employee, as my clients never have anything to hide and are willing to prove it. Of course, please make sure you do not have anything to hide. One last point, keep in mind that it is possible that the employee has already obtained a copy of the file via "unauthorized channels." Do not pull anything out of the file before you turn it over, at least until you have spoken to legal counsel. Save a copy of whatever you give to the employee in such a way so you can prove what was turned over (i.e., number the pages or bind the document together). |

When the patient is injured by the negligence of doctor, doctor bears the legal responsibility. When the driver of car rash and negligently drives a car and causes the death of person, a driver bears the responsibility. When the building collapses as the poor construction work of contractor or engineer, an engineer or contractor bears the responsibility.
Similarly, the laws related to legal malpractice in USA are made to compensate the clients by Attorneys. |
