Advising employers regarding compliance with the Illinois Personnel Records Review Act should start long before they ever receive a request for personnel files because some employers, with an incomplete understanding of the Act, may regularly maintain incomplete records or mistakenly include records with separate retention requirements, such as medical records. Attorneys representing employees should also note request mechanisms available under related Acts, such as the Illinois Wage Payment and Collection Act and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.
