Subject: Arkansas Freedom of Information Act Request: Arkansas State Employees (2019 - 2022)

Mail

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Monthly electronic listings of all employees of the Arkansas Executive Branch from January 1, 2019 to the present. Specifically, I am seeking electronic listings of all individuals employed within the offices of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor and all state agencies, commissions, and departments for each month from January 1, 2019 to May 31, 2022.

For each month, I’m seeking a spreadsheet, database, or delimited text file(s) — not paper records or a PDF created from data — with the following fields for each employee: full legal name, unique employee identification code, title, department or agency, race, gender, full-time/part-time status, location, hire date, termination date, civil service status, and gross annual salary. If you cannot produce any of these fields, please let me know and generate only the available variables.

If these data are not available at monthly intervals, please produce the datasets at the most frequent interval possible. For example, if the data is not available monthly, please produce the data at quarterly intervals.

In addition, please include any lookup tables that may be needed to interpret the data. For example, if departments are listed with codes linked to a separate table, I will be happy to join the records myself, rather than require your staff to do so.

I am comfortable working with large data sets and can receive the records in a variety of formats (.dbf, .csv, .mdb, etc).

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, 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 3 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Nicole Kanu, a citizen of Arkansas, in coordination with Ben Goehring.

Hello. Thank you for your Freedom of Information Act request regarding a list of state employees by month beginning with January 2019. Our Department (Dept. of Finance and Administration) does oversee the state's Transparency website. Through this site, agencies input expenditure, contract and employee data. Employee data entered by agencies is updated at the beginning of each month.
However, when that update takes place it totally overrides the previous month's data within our system. As a result, we do not have information responsive to your request.
While the state's Office of Personnel Management was once a division of our Department, it is now under the Department of Transformation and Shared Services.
If the information was available, it would be through the Office of Personnel Management. Please let us know if you have questions or need additional information.

Thank you again for your request.
