Should personnel files be housed in corporate office?

HRCG

We recently relocated a small portion of our company to another state.  There are only about 8 employees there and I handle all aspects of HR from our main office in Fl.  Do personnel files have to be housed at the new location for those employees or should I keep them here in our main office, sending documents back and forth as needed? We will be hiring there soon and I want to make sure all paperwork is completed and stored properly without havign to involve so many people with confidential information. 

Thanks!

Some states require personnel files to be located on site where the employees are working, so the answer is going to depend on what state(s) you are doing business in.
