My HR dept have 'lost' very important documents from my personal file at work. I need them for a legal case to do with the company I work for. What can I do?

Have the court issue a subpoena for the records.

Can I request an entire copy of my personal file at work? There is some important documentation in my file that I need regarding an incident that happened at work & by all accounts these documents have gone 'missing'! What do I do?

No, I'm taking the company to court over a matter, but the original interview documents, have gone missing

If the company says they are missing, nothing you can do but issue a subpoena and have the court compel them to find the documents.

There are most likely multiple files in a large company, plus if the information is going to be used to sue them, they are not going to just give it to you, you will have to normally get a court order for the information.

Of course some companies just destroy evidence instead of providing it.

I don't think most companies even keep records from the interview... not for very long anyway. Everythig that has happened DURING your employment... reviews.. disciplines, training, etc... yeah... but from the interview? Unlikely.

Yeah... long convoluted story... but I have seen and have a copy of my personnel file... and the interview stuff is the one thing that's not in it.
