(January 2023) Request for Southwestern Community College, in NC: All “full-time” and “part-time” employees and salaries. As of the present day.

Hello Southwestern Community College (Records Officer),

I'd like to make a public records request for the following information under NC Public Records Law.
Ref: https://www.ncleg.net/enactedlegislation/statutes/html/bychapter/chapter_132.html

Please provide the names and salaries of ALL current “Full-Time” and “Part-Time” employees, faculty, and staff, at Southwestern Community College, as of the present day (date the query is performed). Please include the following:

A) Name of employee
B) Original hire date
C) Current department / division / position / title
D) Current salary (Hourly Rate for Part-Time Employees)

Ideally, I’d like to receive the responsive records in an Excel format, if possible.

If any / all of this info is already publicly available online, please provide a link to where it can be accessed.

Please Note: I am not requesting to come in person to inspect, nor to obtain printed copies of, electronic records. In accordance with NC Public Records Law, I’m requesting explicitly that all responsive records be provided via an electronic medium / format (in which the records should already exist), such as an email, file share, google drive folder, mailed flash drive if necessary, etc.

**I know that it should be possible to fulfill a records request like this one, as many other community colleges in North Carolina have already done so. However, if you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under NC Public Records Law.**

I am not required to provide a name or address to associate with a public records request, but in order to move things along I’d like to clarify that this request is being made by:

    Sunshine requestor,

     

    Attached is data for your Public Records Request dated January 31, 2023.

     

    This is the data as it is exported from our database. You will note annual salaries are formatted with two zeros at the end and no decimal point. Hourly rates are formatted with 4 zeros at the end and no decimal point. I inserted the correct format at the beginning of each column for reference.

    Hi Lisa,

     

    Thank you for your reply.

     

    By Law I am not required to provide a name or address to associate with a public records request, but I’ll just clarify again that this request is being made by:

    If fulfilling this request “as promptly as possible” means in the next 45 days, that is fine. I will plan to follow up again around that time if I have not heard anything else before then.
