    I really hope someone can answer this.

    As an employee in the state of CA am I legally required to provide personal contact information (i.e home address, cell phone number, spouse information, etc) on an annual basis? I filled out this personal informaiton/emergency contact form when I was first hired a year ago, nothing has changed, but my H.R is demanding I fill it out again this year. All my prior employers never required it to be done on any regular basis, you just notified them when things needed to be updated.

    The other issue is I've seen non H.R personnel go into her office and pull personnel files which is why I am uncomfortable with there being more than 1 copy of my personal information laying around....

    Thanks in advance!!!

    @vickyness:  THANKS! yea, it's not in our company policy. She sent me a really nasty email too about being uncooperative. But if she provided company policy or a state law saying I have to do it then of course I'd do it, but she can't and gives me this "just do it" attidute.

    Actually it depends on what sector of work you work in, if you would with money its required every year.. Also if you work with kids or in  the finance industry. 

    I would check your HR manual you get when you join and see what the book says, every company may require something different. 

    I live in CALI and i fill one out every year :)

    I fill one out every year as well and I live in Cali, I don't know if its the law, but I also don't know that its worth pissing off HR.....

    Thanks guys!! Yea, I can't find anything in our company policy about it. The only reason I don't trust her with multiple copies is because I know for a fact that people go in there and look at personnel files unauthorized. I sit next to her office so I see who comes and goes and she only has 1 file cabinet in her office and it's for the personnel files. So my fear is that if there are multiple copies in there and she doesn't keep track how will she know when 1 goes missing?

    @yellowshoe:  OMG. that's horrible! Our files are under lock and key in a separate room... that only HR has the keys to. Granted our privacy here is HORRIBLE; Finance & HR shared a printer so I'd get offer letters mixed into my stuff when we were all printing. Can you fill out the new one and make her give you back last year's? That way there is only one piece of paper with this in your file. :D

    @vickyness:  That was exactly my suggestion! My boss went in there with me and told her to just let me cross off the date on my old one and put in today's date. She threw a fit but complied since he ranks above her. And then she sent me a nasty email. So I'm just trying to cover my own a$$ that this isn't really required and she doesn't have the right to send me such a nasty email.
