Personnel records relate to job descriptions, recruitment and selection, personnel evaluation and training, industrial disputes, wages and salary administration, transfer, promotion, health and welfare. Personnel records may be classified as under:
(1) Job Descriptions—These are essential for job evaluation. Description of various jobs is kept-job- wise or department wise. A copy of relative job description may go into the individual employee's personal file.
(2) Evaluation and Training Records—Such information is essential for personnel evaluation and assessing their training needs. Evaluation and training records comprise evaluation by superiors, performance appraisal, training time-tables and records. These are kept by personnel department. 
(3) Wage and Salary Administration-Records relating to wages and salaries are also very useful for different purposes. Wage and Salary Administration records show the initial wages on which the employee starts and his salary escalation over the years. Sometimes, this information is supplied to Government, Trade Unions, Chamber of Commerce and Industry, etc., also.
(4) Industrial Disputes—Records relating to all individual dispute may also be recorded in these records. By personnel department, all industrial disputes are recorded and any employee's special role in them is also put in his personal file. The decisions and terms of settlement are also recorded therein.
