Is an employee entitled to access their employer's records?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Brown v. Malik, 2007 ABQB 270 (CanLII):
These records fall into the first source of records. In Alberta, an employee does not have a general right of access to any file which their employer may keep about them. Wright v. Schultz[10] is illustrative of the principle.
