Right to Copies of Signed Documents for Employees in California
California law gives employees the separate right to request and receive a copy of any documents they have signed relating to their jobs.
For example, employees may request copies of employment contracts, handbook acknowledgment forms, nondisclosure agreements, at-will agreements, and any other employment documents bearing their signatures.
The law doesn’t specify how quickly employers must comply with employee requests.
However, many employment-related documents that employees are asked to sign are put in their personnel files and should be covered by a personnel file request.
