  Good afternoon,

   

  I did speak with our Town Attorney and reviewed this request. North Carolina public records are defined in North Carolina General Statute 132-1 et seq. Members of the public are entitled to inspect and copy such records for free or at a minimal cost. There is no requirement that a unit of local government prepare records or compile information that it does not maintain in the ordinary course of business, in any particular format, in response to a request. Cities and Towns are limited, by North Carolina General Statute, 160A-168, to disclosing only the following information regarding employees:

   

  • Name of the employee

  • Age

  • Date of original employment

  • Terms of any contract, oral or written

  • Current position

  • Title

  • Current Salary

  • Date and amount of each increase or decrease in salary

  • Date and type of promotion, demotion, transfer, suspension, separation, or other change in position with this employer

  • Date and general description of the reasons for each promotion with current employer

  • Date and type of each dismissal, suspension, or demotion for a disciplinary reason by the municipality. If the employee was dismissed, a copy of the written notice of the final decision of the municipality setting forth the specific acts or omissions that are the basis of the dismissal.

  • The office to which the employee is currently assigned.

   

  With regard to your request, please be advised as follows:

   

  1. The Town of Biltmore Forest does not have any records of the religious status or affiliation of its employees.

  2. The Town of Biltmore Forest does not discriminate against any of its employees on the basis of gender or race. As the town does not have any information about the religious affiliation of its employees, it does not have a policy regarding religious discrimination against members of minority religions.

  3. Supervisors with the Town of Biltmore Forest do participate in scheduled training, however, the Town is not aware of any training aimed specifically at addressing a manager’s bias towards a religion.

  4. The Town of Biltmore Forest provides the following paid holidays to all employees:

   

  New Year’s Day
  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
  Good Friday
  Memorial Day
  Fourth of July
  Labor Day
  Thanksgiving Day
  Friday after Thanksgiving
  Christmas Eve
  Christmas Day
  Day after Christmas

   

  Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

  Hello Sunshine Request, in response to the questions from your requestor below, please see the information I can provide in red.

   

  1. A list of all current employees and their religious status: Christian, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Pagan, etc. While a excel file containing names is preferable for transparency a number ratio will be acceptable. This should include anyone who is non practicing but decended from a people or faith tradition that is at risk of discrimination or marginalization. We have no records responsive to this request.

   

  2. Any policy that protects employees of minority religions from discrimination. The Buncombe County Personnel Ordinance is here.

   

  3. Any educational programs programs for supervisors specifically aimed at addressing a managers’ bias toward a religion. The past 3 years will do. We have no records responsive to this request. 

   

  4. Any non-Christian holidays provided to all staff as an official non work day. That is: protection for a Muslim or Jew takes a day off but their co-workers are in attendance reinforcing a stereotype of “other” and someone not shouldering an equal burden.

   

  Here is a complete list of holidays given to Buncombe County employees.
  New Year’s Day
  Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday (Observed)
  Good Friday
  Memorial Day
  Independence Day
  Labor Day
  Veteran’s Day
  Thanksgiving (2 days: Thanksgiving and the following Friday)
  Christmas (3 days)
  *Employees also receive 2 personal days off

  Please see the following responses to the public information requests below:

   

  1. The Town of Weaverville does not ask for religious affiliation of its employees, therefore we cannot provide this information.
  2. I would refer you to the attached Harassment Policy and Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Section I and II for this information. In addition, please see “Conditions of Employment” prohibiting harassment regarding religious affiliation.
  3. The Town provides in-service training on a variety of topics, including this topic, as well as individualized training as appropriate.
  4. The Town provides for one personal leave day for each employee annually. This personal leave day may be used at the discretion of the employee. The Town’s personnel policy also states, “Annual leave for religious observance may be denied only when granting the leave would create an undue hardship for the Town.”

  Selena D. Coffey, MPA, ICMA-CM

  subject: Re: [Public Records Request] Records Request: Local Employee First Amendment Protections

   

  Dear Sunshine Request:
  Below, I will provide answers to the four questions that you asked to the City of Asheville.
  1.The religious status of City of Asheville employees is not collected, and, if it were, the employee religious status would be confidential pursuant to N.C.G.S §160A-168.
  2. The City of Asheville’s Workplace Harassment policy, is here.
  It is the intent of the City of Asheville to maintain a workplace free of harassment from any source. This policy affirms the City’s refusal to tolerate workplace harassment; informs managers and supervisors and other employees of performance expectations, guidelines and possible penalties related to harassment; and provides procedures for employees to follow when they believe they may have been harassed. The policy also prohibits retaliation against employees who report harassment or participate in an investigation involving harassment. […]
  Harassment Under this policy, harassment is verbal, visual or physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward an individual.Harassing conduct includes, but is not limited to; epithets, slurs, or negative Stereotyping; threatening, intimidating, or hostile acts; denigrating jokes and display, transmission, or circulation in the workplace of written or graphic material that denigrates or shows hostility toward an individual or group (including but not limited to email, text, or other electronic means).

   

  […]HARASSMENT COMMITTED BY NON-EMPLOYEES

   

  In cases of harassment committed by a non-employee against a City employee in the workplace or while engaged in work, the Department Director and/or City Manager shall take appropriate steps to insure that the harassment is brought to an immediate end. Employees should immediately report any instances of harassment by non-employees in accordance with the reporting lines outlines in the policy.

   

  THREAT OF RETALIATION PROHIBITED

   

  It is the obligation of the City of Asheville to create an environment that encourages employees to come forward and report when they feel that they are being harassed. To that end, it is imperative that employees understand that once a charge has been filed, the City will not tolerate any actions by staff that are deemed or could be deemed retaliatory in nature. Retaliation is any adverse treatment or disciplinary action that is directed to an individual because they came forth with an allegation of workplace harassment. The City of Asheville prohibits retaliation against one who reports harassment or any who participates in an investigation. Any behavior exhibited by employees that may be interpreted as retaliatory in nature will be treated as Inappropriate Personal Conduct as discussed in Section 61 of the City of Asheville’s Personnel Policy.

   

  3. The City of Asheville’s Equal Employment Opportunity Policy, which includes information on supervisory training, is here.

   

  4. A link to the City of Asheville’s Calendar is here. The City observes the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, Good Friday Holiday, Memorial Day Holiday, 4th of July Holiday, Labor Day Holiday, Thanksgiving Day and the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the day after Christmas. The City’s leave policy is here.

   

  Please let me know if you have other questions.

   

  All best,
  Terry White
  Public Records Officer
  City of Asheville

  I work for a website called Sunshine Request www.sunshinerequest.com. We built a site that makes it easier to make public records requests by filling out a simple form, and the results of any requests are posted on our site. This allows citizens to learn more about our local government, while saving staff from having to fulfill duplicate requests. If you have any questions about the project, please let me know, and I’ll be happy to answer.

   

  We recently received a request for information that may be available in your office. If there’s another party that we should be contacting about this request then please let us know.
