I have requested twice a copy of my 90 day evaluation. It was perfect (even comments on my talent and what an asset I was to the company) however I was still released from my job by my boss because of poor performance. The office is small and the HR staff is close with my old boss. Are they required to provide me with a copy of my 90-day eval upon my request? I was already told that I could have a copy by the HR coordinator but I have a feeling the HR Director will not release it. Help!

Actually my purpose for requesting a copy of my eval is to justify the little question on job applications that state "have you ever been terminitated or forced to resign". With Florida as a will to work or right to work state, I know I don't have a legal case. However, I did sign and date my performance review, make comments below my bosses coments and never persued a copy for my records - never imagining I would be terminated. Thanks to everyone for your responses.

Nope. That is part of their file. You could have kept a copy.
At our company, we won't give them a copy once the supervisor has filled out their portion. Their review is an internal document. They can keep a copy before they hand in their version, but it would not prove very much without the supervisor comments and ratings.

No, the evaluation is the property of the company.
You can call your local labor board if you feel you were terminated unfairly. By doing so the company will most probably release your performace review to the labor board to prevent a long process.

How do your review was perfect if you don't have a copy? Did you see it. If you saw it, there must be a copy on file somewhere. If you think you have cause to litigate you should see a lawyer. A lawyer will tell you if you have a case - Often you can have consultation meeting free of charge. If you litigate your lawyer could subpoena the review.

If you are in the US, they aren't required to, although most companies give you a copy at the time of the appraisal. And if you are thinking of suing them, unless you have a contract you are under something called employment at will, which means they don't have to have a reason to fire you.

You should have been given one at the evaluation. But at this point, after you're fired, they don't really have to give you anything.
