You do not have a legal right to see personnel files
Personnel files and other employer documents about employees are the property of the employer. Employers do not have an obligation to share them with their employees.
Many employers share such information with employees because it is a good practice to do so. If the employer refuses, however, you cannot go to court to force the employer to give you a copy.
Best regards,
