Compensated absences FY2011, 2012 and 2013 (Framingham Human Resources)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. c.66, §10, I hereby request the following records:

-A copy of the policy for reimbursement related to compensated absences that are recorded as liabilities in finances
-A record of the total amount of compensated absences that are recorded as liabilities for FY2011, FY2012 and FY2013

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as we believe this request is in the public interest, as suggested but not stipulated by the recommendations of the Massachusetts Supervisor of Public Records. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

I expect the request to be filled in an accessible format, including for screen readers, which provide text-to-speech for persons unable to read print. Files that are not accessible to screen readers include, for example, .pdf image files as well as physical documents.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Shawn Musgrave

Ms. Hamilton,

I do appreciate the effort. Other cities and towns have found the compensated absences figures as line items in the annual budget for the cited fiscal years. The policies on compensated absences in other municipalities has been in either a blanket policy from the Human Resources Department and/or in specific collective bargaining agreements.

I hope this is helpful in the search.

Best,
Shawn

Ms. Hamilton,

Can you put me in touch with the Finance Department directly? Compensated absences liability is a standard component of audited financial statements, and it may be easier for me to coordinate directly. I'll download the collective bargaining agreements from the website you've noted.

Thank you again for your help.

Best,
Shawn

Ms. Hamilton,

Who is the appropriate person in the Finance Department that would be able to provide audited financial statements? It may be easier for me to coordinate directly. I'll download the collective bargaining agreements from the website you've noted.

Thank you again for your help.

Shawn

Ms. Kelly / Ms. Pratt:

I originally submitted the public records request below to the Framingham Human Resources Department, but Ms. Hamilton indicated that the figures for compensated absences liabilities for the requested years are in documents held by your department. Can you see the request below and indicate whether this is correct?

Best,
Shawn Musgrave
