1385 - Employee Supervision & Development

Last updated on January 23, 2017

Records relating to the day-to-day supervision and development of employees (including volunteers) at the worksite.  This includes the management of employees on sick leave and their return to work, as well as investigations of alleged employee misconduct.

Record types include correspondence, employee performance and development plans (EPDPs), applications, forms, agreements, reports, and photographs.

NOTE:  The official employee personnel file is held by the BC Public Service Agency (BCPSA).  Agencies with their own internal human resources services should use the Human Resource ARCS Supplement (HRAS), the Emergency Health Services ARCS Supplement, or the Liquor Distribution ARCS Supplement.  Agencies must be registered to use HRAS.  For guidance, please contact your Records Officer.
