Dear Amy Cosnoski,
It is my understanding that time cards are scanned and sent to finance for payroll. I am asking to be sent those files. Why do they need to be redacted?? There is nothing on a time card that would need to be redacted. Michele brown’s time card was previously supplied with no redactions. Please respond, I will be following up with the state on your response as well.
Yours sincerely,
Alexander Costa
Mr. Costa:
The time cards are not scanned and sent to finance for payroll. We do not already have them in a digital file to be sent out. Your request was for copies of timecards of all salaried employees. In order to copy or scan in all the time cards there will be time spent by an employee to do that and that is what the charge is for.
Until the time cards are reviewed to see if any personal information was written on the card then I cannot tell you if anything will need to be redacted, but they will not be released until the review is done. Ms. Brown's time cards may have had no redactions because there were none necessary.
