Scope and Content

These are the cumulative personnel history cards for each person who has worked for the State of Utah from 1910-1979. The cards document employees' length of service which is used to calculate potential retirement benefits.

The most numerous of the forms are the employment history cards. These are a record of an employee's history in state employment and begin in the 1930s when department staff created and maintained the cards, including the employee's personal data. Starting in the 1940s, the employees themselves filled in the personnel data section on the card and signed it. Recorded are the person's name, address, phone number, spouse's name, and Social Security number. Employment history data was added later, specifically: department and position, date of hire, rate of pay, and date of termination. Several cards often exist for each person, reflecting the times when different chronological sections of the series were closed; not necessarily different terms of employment. Irregularterms of employment are usually recorded on one card, within these chronological time blocks.

Federal Income Tax W-4 forms are attached to the history cards from the 1940s, when employees began identifying their tax exemptions. Applications for state teaching certificates were forms maintained originally by the Department of Public Instruction, and these begin in 1910 and end in the 1960s. These applications for primary and/or secondary teaching certificates include personal data filled in by the applicant and a record of any certificates, diplomas, or honors awarded. Other information includes applicable college courses and, beginning in the 1950s, a list of hours deficient to meet new requirements for recertification.

A number of cards, dating from the 1930s to early 1940s, are Personnel Record Cards for Employees kept by the WDERA of Salt Lake County. Information on these cards includes personal data and a bimonthly earnings record. A few miscellaneous things, such as SocialSecurity cards or Utah County employee record cards, are sometimes attached to state employee history cards. These are of little significance to the series.

Research Note

Personnel case files exist for different time periods in both the state Personnel or Human Resources Department and in individual departments. These records could be checked for more detailed information about individuals whose employment cards are in this series.
