Information Commissioner's Office

Summary: The complainant requested the position title for each person employed by the London Borough of Camden (-�the council-�) in 2009. Alongside each employee-�s position title, the complainant requested their: (1) pay grade; (2) total overtime payments, rate of overtime and basis for any overtime; (3) bonus payments; (4) hours worked in each month; and (5) their gender. The Commissioner-�s decision is that the council has correctly withheld the following information: total overtime payments, the basis for any overtime and the number of hours worked in each month under section 40(2) of the Act (personal data belonging to a third party). However, the Commissioner is of the view that the council is not entitled to withhold each post holders-�: salary band, overtime rate and gender under section 40(2). The Commissioner requires the public authority to disclose the gender, salary band and overtime rate of each person employed by the council in 2009 alongside their post title. This decision notice is currently under appeal to the Information Tribunal.
