Procedures
Under Rhode Island law, employees have certain rights to review their own personnel files. Employees who wish to do so should give the Human Resources office at least 24 hours’ notice; in some cases, additional time may be needed.
To keep necessary college records up to date, it is extremely important that employees use the self service features in Workday or notify the Human Resources Department of any changes to keep the following information current:
- Name and/or marital status
- Address and/or telephone number
- Number of eligible dependents or change in dependents
- W-4 deductions
- Person to contact in case of emergency
Any questions regarding access to personnel records should be directed to the Department of Human Resources.
