Deduction of Payments from Wages 6

The request was partially successful.

Dear Highland NHS Board,

I am struggling to understand your requests and explanations.

Before proceeding with this matter, could your organization please provide the following information as soon as possible?

1. Who gave authority to your head of finance and her colleague still running your accommodation department to instruct your payroll department to deduct payments from people’s wages without asking for their permission?

2. Who gave authority to your payroll department to actually proceed with the deductions?

3. Who is supposed to monitor what your head of finance, her colleague still running your accommodation department (the same one that keeps overcharging certain people and that in liaison with her colleagues from your so-called security department and personnel department like to protect their local mates working in your organization – especially the one that was arrested for assault. I hope they are not the same people doing the investigation of the vandalization and smearing with faeces of my personal belongings) and the other ones running your payroll department are doing?

4. Could you please provide the full names and contact details of your head of finance, her colleague still running your accommodation department and the other ones running your payroll department?

5. Could your organization please provide copies of the internal policies and procedures it applies when it says that staff have to clock in and out at exactly their working hours (not one minute early, not one minute late) and with their uniform on or facing disciplinary actions? (I still do not see anybody of your own people working in your organization following those directions.)

6. Could your organization please confirm the personal characteristics of the members of staff that have been warned, disciplined, made to resign, suspended and dismissed so far for not having adhered to the directions mentioned in Q.5? (I still do not see anybody of your own people working in your organization following those directions.)

Could you please make sure of providing the information requested as soon as possible so that I can start organizing myself?

I am also still waiting for a reply to my other requests of information I recently submitted to your organization.

Yours faithfully,

S Sabato

Dear Highland NHS Board,

please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Highland NHS Board's handling of my FoI request 'Deduction of Payments from Wages 6'.

Your organization has not provided the information requested.

The information that I am requesting to see should have been carefully recorded by your organization as most of them are about financial transactions. (Financial transactions of money that do not belong to your organization.)

I am also unsure of how your feedback team can ensure that the points I have raised in my FoI request would be dealt with appropriately. (I would like to remind you, one more time, that you are a publicly financed organization, not a family-run business. You are not supposed to use public resources to make favours and to protect friends and relatives.)

I am also very interested to read (if your organization keeps them written down) the internal policies and procedures that your organization applies in the points I raised in Q.5 and 6.

Please make sure of providing the information I requested as soon as possible and not later than the 6th of September 2019.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/d...

Yours faithfully,

S Sabato
