Which of the following is NOT mandatory to be included in employee records?

The inclusion of personal phone numbers in employee records is not a mandatory requirement under the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR). While maintaining accurate and comprehensive employee records is important for various employment-related functions, certain personal information, such as personal phone numbers, is often regarded as optional or less critical compared to other items that are clearly stipulated as necessary.

In contrast, elements like an employee's social security number, home address, and licensure status for specific professional roles are typically required to ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. These details are essential for processing payroll, validating identity, and verifying appropriate qualifications for professional roles. This is particularly true in healthcare settings, where licensure is crucial for practicing legally and safely. Therefore, while it may be useful to have personal phone numbers for communication purposes, they do not fall into the category of mandatory information that employees are required to provide for their records.
