(a) A record that reflects the complete history of the employee from the date he/she was originally admitted into the public service until the date of his/her definitive separation from the service.
(b) A record that is confidential and separate and which contains the instructions, determinations and certificates of a medical nature, pursuant to the Federal American with Disabilities Act (ADA).

(3) All matters relative to the conservation and disposal of the records of employees who separate from the service shall be governed by the provisions of §§ 1001—1013 of this title, known as the “Puerto Rico Public Document Administration Act” and its regulations, administered by the General Services Administration or any statutory provision that may substitute it.
(4) When an employee is transferred from one agency to another, the originating agency shall transfer the records to the agency to which the employee is transferring not later than thirty (30) days, counted from the date of effectiveness of the transfer.
