When is the deadline for posting a copy of an employee record on request?
The catalogue records a 14 days period from the day the employer receives the request from the employee or former employee. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 14 days
- Trigger
- the day the employer receives the request from the employee or former employee
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- None. Regulation 3.42(3) is a civil remedy provision to which Part 4-1 of the Act applies, and is enforceable by infringement notice.
- The alternative limb in reg 3.42(3)(a) is 3 BUSINESS DAYS. 'Business day' is not defined in the Fair Work Regulations 2009 or in the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 as at 25 June 2009. The closest statutory analogues are Fair Work Commission Rules 2024 r 5 ('a day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a public or bank holiday in the place concerned') and FW Act s 12 'working day' ('a day that is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday'). Where the record is not kept at the workplace, reg 3.42(4) substitutes 'as soon as practicable' with no fixed period.
