This
is a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law (M. G. L. Chapter 66,
Section 10). I am requesting that I be provided access to the following public
records:
Fiscal 2023 employee payroll
Fiscal 2024 year-to-date employee payroll
For each employee, this request includes, but is not limited to,
the following:
Employee name
Department
Job Title
Date of hire
Base pay
Overtime pay
Total pay
Regular pay hourly rate
Overtime pay hourly rate
Gender
Age
I request access to these records be provided in a spreadsheet
format and on a rolling basis.
I do not believe the records are exempt under MGL Chapter 66,
Section 10. However, if you believe the records contain exempt material, the
law requires that you redact only those portions of the records and release the
rest of the documents.
If you expect costs to exceed $10.00, please provide a detailed
fee estimate.
I am seeking a waiver of any fee for access to these public
records. Disclosure of these requested records are in the public interest
because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the
operations or activities of the government and is not primarily in the
commercial interest of the requestor.
I am a reporter for the Boston Globe who regularly reports on
government operations, and release of these records would contribute to this
coverage.
The Public Records Law requires you to provide me with a written
response within 10 business days. If you cannot comply with my request, you are
statutorily required to provide an explanation in writing.
Sincerely,
John Hilliard
Reporter
