Guest Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 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
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 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.
AnonyMouse_6721 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 No that's not allowed. Check out your constitution. You can't be the employer and the employee. 1
AnonyMouse_7120 Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 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.
AnonyMouse_16163 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 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. Â M
AnonyMouse_11396 Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 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.
Guest Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 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
