Dear Ms Smith

Your request for information

Thank you for your request for information about staff dismissals. Your request was received on 10th March 2010 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

In some circumstances we may charge for information. If there is a charge I will let you know as you will have to pay it before we deal with your request.

Some information does not have to be released under the Freedom of Information Act. We will check the information you have asked for and send you as much as possible. If another person or organisation is named in the information we may have to ask their opinion before we decide what we can give you.

Please note that we are currently experiencing a high volume of requests and therefore we would ask politely that you do not contact us regarding your request unless the statutory deadline has been exceeded or you wish to modify or withdraw your request. This will enable us to process and respond to your request as quickly as possible.

If you have any queries about this email please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,
Hannah Quinn

Subject: Freedom of Information request - Dismissed Employee Data

     Dear Stoke on Trent City Council,

     Please furnish me with the following data:

     The number of employees dismissed by your authority between
     1/1/2006 and 31/12/2009 broken down by year.

     Please break the figures down into those dismissed employees who
     later made a complaint to an Employment Tribunal and those who did
     not.

     Further, please provide data on the number of employees dismissed
     by your authority between 1/1/2006 and 31/12/2009 broken down by
     year, who filed a complaint with an Employment Tribunal. Please
     show how many were resolved through negotiation with the Advisory,
     Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) and how many proceeded
     to an Employment Tribunal Hearing.

     Please further break the data down to show, of those who went onto
     a full Employment Tribunal Hearing, how many complaints were upheld
     and how many were found in the council's favor.

     Yours faithfully,

     Ms D Smith
