This question goes along the lines of whether or not you as an employee in the state of Georgia can see and review and copy your personnel fie.  If you are a public employee in Georgia then you have every right to inspect your personnel file.  However, if you are employed in the private sector then you do not have that right.  If you are part of a union then your union contract may give you even more rights than a public sector employee. In fact you as a union employee may even be able to remove unfair information.  If you are part of a union you should speak with your union representative. I hope that this was helpful.  Good luck.
