Which of the following should not be included in an employee's regular personnel file?

  1. Application for employment

  2. Historical records older than three years

  3. Medical benefits claims data

  4. Performance reviews

The correct answer is: Medical benefits claims data

Medical benefits claims data should not be included in an employee's regular personnel file because it is considered confidential information. Including this in an employee's personnel file may violate their privacy and can also lead to potential discrimination. Option A, the application for employment, should be included in the personnel file as it provides valuable information about the employee's work history and qualifications. Option B, historical records older than three years, should also be included as they may provide important information about the employee's past performance and contributions. Option D, performance reviews, should also be included as they document the employee's progress and development within the company.
