Government employees performance improvement plan numbers (FOI)

Request

Please let me know how many Government of Jersey employees have had to undertake a performance improvement plan between 1 January 2022 and 1 March 2023.

Response 

The information requested is held within individual employee personnel files. It is estimated that to undertake the work required to identify relevant individuals and confirm the requested details would exceed the 12.5 hours maximum the time limit as prescribed by Regulations. Article 16 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied.

Article applied 

Article 16 - A scheduled public authority may refuse to supply information if cost excessive

(1) A scheduled public authority that has been requested to supply information may refuse to supply the information if it estimates that the cost of doing so would exceed an amount determined in the manner prescribed by Regulations. 

(2) Despite paragraph (1), a scheduled public authority may still supply the information requested on payment to it of a fee determined by the authority in the manner prescribed by Regulations for the purposes of this Article.

(3) Regulations may provide that, in such circumstances as the Regulations prescribe, if two or more requests for information are made to a scheduled public authority –

(a) by one person; or

(b) by different persons who appear to the scheduled public authority to be acting in concert or in pursuance of a campaign, the estimated cost of complying with any of the requests is to be taken to be the estimated total cost of complying with all of them
