Opinion Letter No. 95-02
January 19, 1995
Job Eligibles List and Unsuccessful Job Applicants Information
The UIPA’s personal privacy exception permits
an agency to withhold public access to the names of
unsuccessful eligibles for the position of Hawai‘i County
Planner III. Based on the personal privacy
and frustration of a legitimate government function exceptions to
disclosure, the OIP advised that the
following identifying information should be segregated from unsuccessful
candidates' applications
before the records were made available: applicant’s signature;
name; social security number; home
and business phone numbers and addresses; driver’s license
number; current and previous employers’ names and addresses;
and names of immediate supervisors for current and previous employment.
Furthermore, if public disclosure of a rating or examination score
would result in the likelihood of actual identification of a certified
eligible, then the rating or examination score must be withheld
from public access.
