Dear sir,
Thank you for your request as outlined below. Our researchers have asked for clarification on a number of points to enable them to properly research your questions as follows:
1. We are able to breakdown the total costs of employment but are unclear as to how you would like this broken down.
2. We do not understand what is meant by "non-individually identifiable" job-titles - many job titles (especially at manager level) are digital posts which would identify the post holder. If you require an organogram, we publish directorate information on our website.
3. You have not supplied a date (or range of dates) for which this information should be captured. If you don't wish to specify a particular date (range) then please advise "as at the last captured date" and we will research on that basis.
Regards
David

Dear Business Intelligence Team – Information and Records
I would like the total costs of employment of every person employed by Cambridgeshire County Council including bank/agency staff and contractors broken down by salary, bonuses, employer National Insurance contributions, employer pension contributions, sick pay and maternity or paternity pay.
If a job title would identify the post holder then I would like the generic titles of roles, such as 'manager', that do not permit the identification of individuals.
I would like this information as at the last captured date.
Yours faithfully
William Wetherell

Dear Sir
Thank you for your email, as appended below. Having reviewed our systems it would appear that we never received the clarification which we requested from you and as a consequence your request was deemed closed after a period of 60 days.
However I have now resurrected your request and contacted our researchers with a view to an appraisal of the size of the task as they previously also indicated that it may attract an exemption on the basis of cost. Once I have a response I will advise further.
Regards
David

Dear Mr Wetherell
I write with an update in respect of your now very seriously delayed request.
I am continuing to try to find a method of extracting the information you require from our HR and Payroll systems and will respond to your request as soon as I am able. I have ascertained that HR are unable to extract the information from their systems and am now awaiting a response from the Finance(Payroll) analysts.
I appreciate that this request has been outstanding for a considerable time and I again apologise for this inconvenience. Please be assured that I will respond as soon as I am able.
Regards
David
