This is a copy of my earlier request sent on 11-27-2022 --- just with earlier dates. In particular, I would like the following fields for each month from January 2013 - December 2018:

- First Name
- Middle Name

- Suffix
- Final Payrate
- Agency Name
- Class Title
- Position Title

If you cannot produce any of these fields for this period, please let me know and generate only the available variables.

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 15 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Good afternoon,

The South Carolina Department of Administration (Admin) received your request April 4, 2023 and will respond within the allotted timeframe provided by SC FOIA.

From: Department of Administration

Good morning,
South Carolina Department of Administration (Admin) staff have conducted a search and found responsive documents relating to your FOIA request, which Admin received April 4, 2023.
Pursuant to Admin policy, if a request requires approximately one hour or more of staff time or multiple requests from the same individual require considerable time to answer, a charge may be assessed based on the hourly personnel costs of the employees(s) involved in responding to the request. In determining whether a fee is warranted, one or more related FOIA requests from the same individual or organization will be considered. Based on the estimated staff time and resources required to complete the compilation and production of documents responsive to your request, the cost will amount to $823.05.

In order for Admin staff to move forward with fulfilling your request, you will need to tender a deposit in the full amount of $205.76 payable to the S.C. Department of Administration sent to my attention. Please understand that you will be required to pay the actual charges incurred as provided by statute. Should the deposit prove to be more than the actual cost to search and compile responsive documents, Admin will return all excess funds to you. Likewise, should the deposit underestimate the actual charges, Admin will expect payment in full prior to the release of any such documents.
Thank you,

The South Carolina
Department of Administration
