Lei de acesso à informação pública: análise jurídica e opinião dos servidores públicos

Abstract

The Law of Access to Information (Law number 12.527/2011), which began operating in 2012, increased the transparency of public administration. By allowing the disclosure of nominal wages of public employees, caused much discussion in the legal environment. The objective of this study was to analyze how this legislation is being treated by the doctrine and jurisprudence, as well as evaluating the opinion of public employees for the same. To this end, this study was conducted in two stages. The first consisted of, after an extensive literature search, notice as transparency in public administration is happening, especially in the executive administration of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. From this, it was realized that the doctrine and jurisprudence have divergent points of view; however, the opinions in general converge to the possibility of disclosure. The second stage consisted of a research with public employees, assessing their knowledge of LAI, as well as its impact on their lives. The research showed that those employees whose wages are disclosed agreed with the law and not feel harmed; those whose information were secret fear that disclosure. Therefore, LAI does not adversely affect those who suffer its direct impact.
