Comments:

Millington - We have not completely converted to electronic files, but we have scanned all our old files and are storing them on disks so that they can be accessed more quickly and efficiently and can be stored in a more efficient way; they can also be preserved more efficiently.

Chattanooga - We have an HRIS system but we also maintain personnel records in hard copy. We have not converted any files recently.
