Employee Service Files

Description

Unique IDAS-0675Start date1st January 1961Start date qualifierexactFormatManila FolderDescriptionService Files are files raised for each employee of Council that contain originals and copies of papers concerning that employee. This includes letters of application, papers related to leave (sick, annual or long service), resignation, courses attended, higher grade duties performed, disciplinary matters, copies of birth and marriage certificates, certificates of service and termination worksheets showing details of final pay. (For a period from 1979 to 1991 these worksheets were filed separately rather than being placed on file - see Consignments C0086-0089).

Files are raised for both permanent and temporary employees, but when the series first began they were only raised for permanent employees. It is not clear when the practice of raising files for temporary employees began, nor is it clear when the series began, although it is possible that it dates from the creation of the Industrial and Personnel Department in 1961.

When a file becomes too big another one is raised so there could be several files on the one person.

At one stage the Service Files were controlled by a single numbering system but this practice was later abandoned and the files are controlled alphabetically by the name of the employee. Summary information about each employee is kept on CRS 81, Staff Record Cards.
