Conflict of interest?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi, I wondered if anyone is in the position of both working as an employee at their setting and being the Chair of their Committee? If so, please could you let me know - thanks! Annabelle

I didn't think that was allowed, but might have got that wrong. My understanding was that staff could be on a committee but not hold any officer positions.

The whole committee is the employer, not only officers so the whole thing is pretty strange and a conflict of interests really, I don't think you have any voting rights though.

As above have said you cannot be paid and be on a committee, also when the committee discuss wages how will that work. We as staff have to leave the room.

No many constitutions do allow staff to be on committees now, but as I previously stated they are not to hold any officer positions.

I would certainly look into this for further clarification.

When wages are discussed I leave the meeting. I am only there in a support capacity.

I am on the committee and work for a pre-school. I deal with all the finances and all the office work, registers, waiting lists etc. In meetings I do not vote on items such as wages and we have a conflict of interest register and that is updated when items to arise. hope that helps x
