Dear Mr. Nash,

You have asked for “10 years (01/01/2012 to present) of total compensation records, on an annual basis with separate columns or entries for each pay component, including hire date for anyone with the word ‘perfusion’ in their job title.” You further specified that you are seeking records of each employee that provide last name and first initial, date of hire, total compensation or base pay, supplemental pay, administrative pay, incentive pay and any other pay for each year of the ten year period.

Attached is a spreadsheet that is partially responsive to your request in that it provides the last name and first initial, date of hire and annual salary of VCU Health employees with the word ‘perfusion’ in their job title from 1/10/2012 to present. Pursuant to Va. Code § 2.2-3705.1(1) the remaining data points you request (i.e., supplemental pay, administrative pay, incentive pay and any other pay) are considered personnel information of identifiable individuals not subject to mandatory disclosure and are withheld in their entirety.

Thank you for your response. This is partially the information I am seeking. I understand you're asserting that the other columns I have requested are 'personnel information' and not disclosable.
Are individual's total actual pay disclosable? would rounding to the nearest $100 be sufficient to overcome the 'personnel information' exception?
My issue is that the information provided does not give any indication of what each individual was actually paid, only what their 'stated salary' is.
For example, one line showed: Year: 2021 Hire date: 5/30/2021 annual salary: $120,016.00 and 2022 was identical. However, someone hired part way through the year 2021 won't earn their full salary that year.
The information I am seeking are individual's Total actual pay, even if rounded. Is there any way to receive that information or substantially similar data?

I appreciate your work on this!

As additional explanation, Va. Code § 2.2-3705.1(1) requires that pubic bodies disclose the annual salary or rate of pay of public employees.

Additionally, VCU Health does not maintain existing records with the calculations you request and pursuant to Va.

From: Brent Thye

Thank you for the explanation.

I discussed this with the Virginia FOIA council as well and they advised: "Generally speaking, accounting records showing payments made to an individual would be open to public disclosure, but notations regarding the type of pay or reasons for payment may be withheld as personnel information. Please see AO-01-21 which discussed salary/rate of pay, payroll, and accounting records in detail."

In light of that, I would like to modify my request as follows:

I am requesting accounting records from 01/01/2012 to present showing all payments, on an annual basis, to any individuals with the word 'perfusion' in their job title. I am NOT requesting any notations of the type of pay or reasons for payment, only annual aggregate totals.

Thanks for the follow-up. Reading through your emails it appears you are asking for the total gross salary payments made to any individual with perfusion in the their job title on an annual basis from 1/1/2012 to the present. Is that correct? Additionally, please note that due to the overall volume of requests and staff availability, VCU Health System will require the additional seven work days allowed for response pursuant to Va.

This is a follow up to a previous request:

Thank you for your response. This is partially the information I am seeking. I understand you're asserting that the other columns I have requested are 'personnel information' and not disclosable.
Are individual's total actual pay disclosable? would rounding to the nearest $100 be sufficient to overcome the 'personnel information' exception?
My issue is that the information provided does not give any indication of what each individual was actually paid, only what their 'stated salary' is.
For example, one line showed: Year: 2021 Hire date: 5/30/2021 annual salary: $120,016.00 and 2022 was identical. However, someone hired part way through the year 2021 won't earn their full salary that year.
The information I am seeking are individual's Total actual pay, even if rounded. Is there any way to receive that information or substantially similar data?

I appreciate your work on this!

Dear Mr. Nash,

You have asked for “10 years (01/01/2012 to present) of total compensation records, on an annual basis with separate columns or entries for each pay component, including hire date for anyone with the word ‘perfusion’ in their job title.” You further specified that you are seeking records of each employee that provide last name and first initial, date of hire, total compensation or base pay, supplemental pay, administrative pay, incentive pay and any other pay for each year of the ten year period.

Attached is a spreadsheet that is partially responsive to your request in that it provides the last name and first initial, date of hire and annual salary of VCU Health employees with the word ‘perfusion’ in their job title from 1/10/2012 to present. Pursuant to Va. Code § 2.2-3705.1(1) the remaining data points you request (i.e., supplemental pay, administrative pay, incentive pay and any other pay) are considered personnel information of identifiable individuals not subject to mandatory disclosure and are withheld in their entirety.

Hendrixson, K. 8/9/2009 missing all years. Their hire date is listed as 2009 but the annual salary data you sent previously only shows data for 2023. It's possible they were int another position previously and I would like to confirm that if you can.
Wilson, H. 5/27/2012 missing all years. Their annual salary data showed entries for 2012 through 2017.
Mawut, M. 12/6/2010 missing all years. Their hire date is listed as 2010 but the annual salary data you sent previously only shows data for 2023. It's possible they were int another position previously and I would like to confirm that if you can.

Thanks for the follow-up. Reading through your emails it appears you are asking for the total gross salary payments made to any individual with perfusion in the their job title on an annual basis from 1/1/2012 to the present. Is that correct? Additionally, please note that due to the overall volume of requests and staff availability, VCU Health System will require the additional seven work days allowed for response pursuant to Va. Code § 2.2-3704(B)(4) as it is not practically possible to provide the requested records or determine whether or not that are available within the initial five work day period.

This is a follow up to a previous request:

Thank you for your response. This is partially the information I am seeking. I understand you're asserting that the other columns I have requested are 'personnel information' and not disclosable.
Are individual's total actual pay disclosable? would rounding to the nearest $100 be sufficient to overcome the 'personnel information' exception?
My issue is that the information provided does not give any indication of what each individual was actually paid, only what their 'stated salary' is.
For example, one line showed: Year: 2021 Hire date: 5/30/2021 annual salary: $120,016.00 and 2022 was identical. However, someone hired part way through the year 2021 won't earn their full salary that year.
The information I am seeking are individual's Total actual pay, even if rounded. Is there any way to receive that information or substantially similar data?

I appreciate your work on this!

Dear Mr. Nash,

You have asked for “10 years (01/01/2012 to present) of total compensation records, on an annual basis with separate columns or entries for each pay component, including hire date for anyone with the word ‘perfusion’ in their job title.” You further specified that you are seeking records of each employee that provide last name and first initial, date of hire, total compensation or base pay, supplemental pay, administrative pay, incentive pay and any other pay for each year of the ten year period.

Attached is a spreadsheet that is partially responsive to your request in that it provides the last name and first initial, date of hire and annual salary of VCU Health employees with the word ‘perfusion’ in their job title from 1/10/2012 to present. Pursuant to Va. Code § 2.2-3705.1(1) the remaining data points you request (i.e., supplemental pay, administrative pay, incentive pay and any other pay) are considered personnel information of identifiable individuals not subject to mandatory disclosure and are withheld in their entirety.

Subject: RE: Virginia Freedom of Information Act Request: VCU perfusion salary request
Thank you for the explanation.

I discussed this with the Virginia FOIA council as well and they advised: "Generally speaking, accounting records showing payments made to an individual would be open to public disclosure, but notations regarding the type of pay or reasons for payment may be withheld as personnel information. Please see AO-01-21 which discussed salary/rate of pay, payroll, and accounting records in detail."

In light of that, I would like to modify my request as follows:

I am requesting accounting records from 01/01/2012 to present showing all payments, on an annual basis, to any individuals with the word 'perfusion' in their job title. I am NOT requesting any notations of the type of pay or reasons for payment, only annual aggregate totals.

Good afternoon,

Attached is a revised spreadsheet containing the annual salary as well as gross salary payments made to any individual with “perfusion” in their job title on an annual basis from 1/1/2012 to the present noting:

(1) Gross salary payment data for Davies, H. is now included.
(2) Payroll confirmed that Hendrixson, K. and Mawut, M. transferred to jobs with “perfusion” in the title on 4/30/23.
(3) Payroll confirmed that Wilson, H. is the same person as Letts, H. whose data is already included.

Best,
