SIC Report on job evaluation scheme – On 20 June 2014, Mr Irvine asked North Lanarkshire Council (the Council) for a copy of a report to the Council’s Corporate Management Team (CMT) concerning the Council’s job evaluation scheme.
The Council withheld the information on the basis that it was exempt from disclosure in terms of sections 30(c) and 38 of FOISA. It also told the Commissioner that it did not hold some of the information sought by Mr Irvine.
The Commissioner accepted that the Council did not hold some of the information, but noted it had failed to tell Mr Irvine that this was the case. The Commissioner accepted that the Council was entitled to withhold the personal data of employees under the exemption in section 38(1)(b) of FOISA. The Commissioner found that the Council was not entitled to withhold the remainder of the information under the exemption in section 30(c) of FOISA and required it to disclose this information to Mr Irvine.
