When an employee is terminated do they have a right to a copy of their personnel file?

More details to this question:
I made the statement to an employee in my exact words "watch who you communicate with at the office". I was terminated due to downing statements about the company and amount of write ups. Is this possible?

No. The personnel file is property of the employer. The law does not require an employer, except for the government, to provide access to your personnel file.
