Dismissed Employee Data

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

Hi Ms Smith

Sorry for the delay in replying but this email had actually gone to my junk mail.

When you say acted improperly - do you only require dismissed employees through disciplinary, as those who are dismissed through the Attendance Management Policy I would not class as having acted improperly.

Thanks, Clare
