Florida State Employee Salaries (2019-2022)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Florida Sunshine Law, I hereby request the following records:

Copies of the State of Florida salary data published on the "Florida Has a Right to Know" website (https://salaries.myflorida.com/) for each month from January 2019 through March 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 every employee who worked in the Florida Executive Branch: Agency, Budget Entity, Last Name, First Name, Middle Initial, Salaried/Hourly, Full/Part Time, Title, Hire Date, Annual Salary (or hourly rate). If possible, please also include each employee's race/ethnicity and gender. If these latter two variables are unavailable, please exclude them and proceed with the other variables outlined above.

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 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Ben Goehring
