Records maintains and controls access to the official employment files for faculty, staff, retirees, and non-paid affiliates of Augusta University. The goal of this section is to ensure that the hard copy and electronic personnel records are accurate, relevant, and comply with the University System of Georgia (USG) guidelines for personnel records.
An active employee may review his/her own employee file in the presence of a Records staff member. Department managers/supervisors may also have access to the information in the personnel file of their direct reports in the presence of a Records staff member. File reviews are by appointment and require a 24-hour advance notice. You may email your request to Anita Herrington/HR Records Coordinator at aherring@augusta.edu or call 706-721-7900. An employee may request copies of the documents in their personnel file. There is no charge for the first 10 pages, but there will be a $0.25 fee for each additional page.
