Answer:
Generally, in Louisiana, employers are not required to provide employees access to their entire employment records unless specific circumstances apply, such as a lawsuit or terms outlined in a union or employment contract. Access to records may be granted during the discovery process of a legal case, where one party can request documents that could be relevant to the case. This request is typically made through a legal process called 'discovery,' which allows for broad information gathering. However, a court may limit this discovery if it finds that the burden or expense outweighs the potential relevance of the information sought.
