The College respects each employee's right to privacy and accuracy regarding their personnel records. We ensure all records are handled in compliance with Florida's Public Records Act (Chapter 119) and State Board of Education Rules. Access to certain records may be limited as defined by these laws.
The Office of Human Resources is responsible for overseeing the record keeping for all personnel information and is responsible for maintaining the only official employee file. The Office of Human Resources is the only authorized department to release information about employees.
College personnel records are open for inspection under Florida's Public Records Act, with certain exceptions by law. Here’s how to access them:
- To review a personnel file or job application, visit the Human Resources Office.
- If there's no signed release from the employee, requests are directed to the General Counsel’s Office.
- Employees can review their own files upon request, under Human Resources supervision, at a reasonable time and place.
- All file reviews will take place in the Human Resources Office.
Required documents, including official academic transcripts, must be submitted within 30 days of hire. Transcripts from foreign institutions must be evaluated by a recognized credentialing service. Employees are responsible for keeping their personal information up to date and must notify Human Resources of any changes to their contact or benefits-related information.
