Job Evaulation

The request was partially successful.

Dear Cardiff Council,

Please provide me with all information, including any training material, emails, documents, recorded advice, provided to trade union members and officers prior to them sitting on the job evaluation appeal panels.

Please also provide a list of all staff who are trained to sit on such panels, and the number of occasions to date that each officer, trade union member, has sat on a panel.

Could you also supply me with a full list of the job evaluation scores of all positions within Cardiff Council following the initial results issued.

I request this information under the Freedom of Information Act. I believe this information should be provided to me and expect a response within 20 working days.

Yours faithfully,

Mr P Karlson

Dear Paul L Karlson,

Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
regarding Job Evaluation Appeal panels (re your email below) received on
10th January 2013. We are considering your request under the terms of
the Freedom of Information Act, you should receive the information
requested within the statutory timescale of 20 working days, unless the
information is exempt or we require additional time to consider whether
disclosure is in the public interest in accordance with section 10(3) of
the Act.

Cardiff Council's policy is to carry out the spirit and requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act in a manner which:

- recognizes the duty to inform as the essential principle underlying
the legislation;

- discloses to requesters the maximum information possible which is not
injurious to the public and private interests identified in the
exemptions in the Act and does so in the most timely and consistent
manner given the nature and scope of the request;

- ensures that fees permitted under the Act are kept to an absolute
minimum whilst safeguarding our position as a non-profit making
repayment department.

The Act defines a number of exemptions which may prevent the release of
information. If any exemptions apply to your information request they
will be considered prior to disclosure. If any of the exemption
categories do apply an explanation for non-disclosure will be included
in the Decision Notice response you will receive, included in this
notice will be your right to seek an internal review of our decision.

If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken on whether or not
to release the information to you. We will keep you informed if this
issue arises.

If you have any queries or concerns regarding the FOIA please do not
hesitate to contact me.
