A public-records request hits city personnel files. Sunshine law applies, but medical information and Social Security numbers are protected. What privacy process should HR run?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Sunshine on the porch, shades on the bedroom. Public jobs come with disclosure, not with handing over diagnoses and Social Security numbers. The process is a sort, not a dump and not a stonewall.
Full Explanation
Sunshine and public-records regimes still require a personnel-data protection process. HR should separate releasable employment information from exempt or protected content—medical records, SSNs, and similar elements—consistent with law and the organization's data-protection strategy. Blanket release and blanket withholding are both process failures. Informal workarounds such as steering the requester to an interview do not substitute for a documented review protocol.
