First, contact the original unit.
Retired workers can try to get in touch with the personnel department or file management department of the original unit first. These departments are usually responsible for managing and keeping employee files and can provide exact information about the storage location of personal files. When contacting, retired employees may need to provide their own name, ID number, retirement certificate number and other related information, so that the other party can find it accurately.
Second, consulting social insurance institutions
If the original unit can't provide a clear file storage location, retired workers can consult the local social insurance agency. These institutions are responsible for the registration, payment and management of employees' social insurance, which usually involves the preservation and management of personal files. When consulting, retired employees need to bring their own valid identity documents and retirement certificates, so that the other party can verify their identity and provide relevant help.
Third, query the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau.
In addition, retired workers can also try to inquire about the storage location of personal files from the local human resources and social security bureau. These departments are responsible for the management and deployment of human resources, and may also be responsible for the preservation and management of personal files. When inquiring, retired employees need to provide their personal information and relevant supporting documents so that the other party can assist in the search.
Fourth, pay attention to file security.
In the process of inquiring personal files, retired employees need to pay attention to protecting personal privacy and file security. When providing personal information, you should ensure that the information is accurate and complete to avoid revealing important information. At the same time, after obtaining the storage location of files, you should inquire and collect personal files from relevant departments as soon as possible to ensure the safety and integrity of files.
To sum up:
The personal files of retired employees are generally kept in the personnel department or file management department of the original unit, and may also be kept in the local social insurance agency or the human resources and social security bureau. When looking for personal files, retired workers need to contact relevant departments to provide personal information and pay attention to file security.
