QUESTION

Do you know if a city can share personal information and disciplinary actions of an employee, including the employee’s address, via a FOIL request?

Answer

If disciplinary action was taken against an employee, you can obtain a copy of that record.

If no disciplinary action was taken, the related records may be withheld.

The home address listed in any records may be redacted for privacy reasons.

A new law now requires employees to be notified when someone submits a FOIL request for their disciplinary records.
