No you do not have to unless specifically requested by a complaint survey.  Many facilities have a working employee file with mandatory information for background check and such with information that is required, (TB test) H & P on hire and then the personal information including wages, disipline and health information after hire, FMLA and excuses for absence, and and written documentation regarding re-education and such, is kept seperate from the other file due to HIPPA and Risk Managment guidelines we have had in our association conventions.  Labor law is a big issue in our state and privacy with medical info and such is also issue with Hippa when it went into effect.  Most of this was just recommendation, and not really a law or protected info by the QA program.  Hope this helps yall!!
