Dear Edison Township,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under NJSA 47:1A-10 and the common law right of access. I am a journalist with New Brunswick Today and Trenton Makes News, and require the records for my reporting on New Jersey's local governments, school districts, and autonomous authorities. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Please provide payroll records, documents, lists, reports or statements sufficient to show:
1) the name, title/position, department/division, current salary, and hire date for all salaried employees as of today, October 1, 2024
2) the name, title/position, department/division, current hourly pay rate(s), and hire date for all hourly employees, as of today, October 1, 2024
3) the names of all current employees enrolled in each public pension system as of today, October 1, 2024
4) the names of all current and former employees receiving compensation in the form of a healthcare program/plan as of today, October 1, 2024
5) the name and pay status of each employee currently suspended from duty, as of today, October 1, 2024
6) the name, title/position, department/division, final salary, hire date, separation date, and reason for separation for all employees who left employment since January 1, 2024
7) the 2024 total year-to-date (YTD) base pay, overtime pay, and other extra pay for each current or former employee, including all stipends/allowances, bonuses, reimbursements and other payments or perks granted each employee, as of today, October 1, 2024

If an employee has different rates of pay for different work or different roles, please indicate each of the pay rates in the response. Please also be specific about the stated purpose of any extra payments, such as bonuses, stipends, and reimbursements.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments, and the preferred file type is Microsoft Excel spreadsheet(s). Please confirm you have received this request, and feel free to contact me at 732-993-9697 if I can be helpful in clarifying this request. Thanks very much and have a nice day.

Yours faithfully,
