Employment Tip Of The Month – October 2026
There are currently 19 states that legally require employers to permit employees (and sometimes former employees) to view and/or obtain a copy of their personnel file. As of November 8, 2026, that number will increase to 20, when New York’s recently enacted Personnel Records Access Law goes into effect. The majority of states have no law requiring access to personnel files and there is no federal law that confers on current or former employees a statutory right to access their personnel files.

EEOC Response Deadlines May Be Shrinking: What Employers Need To Know About The 15-Day Trend
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) may be enforcing a shortened deadline for employers to submit position statements in response to a Charge of Discrimination (Charge).

Security-Clearance Decisions And Employment Claims In The Space And Defense Sectors: Where Courts Draw The Line
Many space and defense jobs require a federal security clearance. If the government denies, delays, or revokes a clearance, an employee may be unable to continue in that role; the employer may reassign or terminate the employee. If the cleared individual is an officer of the company, revocation could jeopardize the company’s eligibility to perform cleared work. A subsequent employment claim may allege discrimination or retaliation in the clearance process or in the employer’s response.
