• In Order 2001-020, the City of Calgary received a request for all information related to a buy-out for managers since 1999. • The Information and Privacy Commissioner upheld the City’s decision to release standard clauses from the severance agreements, the individual’s job title or position, and the amount of severance paid. This information could be released in accordance with section 17(2)(e). • The City withheld the individuals’ names and signatures (section 17(4)(g)(i)), and employee numbers, and termination and retirement dates as employment history (section 17(4)(d)). • It is not clear how the order would apply if the applicant had asked for the severance package information of a named individual. However, it appears that the same considerations of sections 17(2) and 17(4) may apply and the outcome may be the same.
