Committe run group

[Chloe]

If a group is run by a committee ie parents,does the treasuer pay the staff?
Should the treasurer also give out to all the parents accounts? Staff should not be doing wages??

If the group is 'run by the book' so to speak then the Treasurer would be doing all the finance with imput from the Chair. This includes wages. But...... in these days when committee members are few and far between then I guess the staff will do some of the paperwork as well. As long as it's the Playleader/Manager/Person in Charge of the group that is doing the wages then it should be ok, not ideal, but ok.

Just read about the committee item and was wondering if you could help???
Can a committee member work for you?:blindfold
She did get paid for it...(was a waste of space too!!) Are they classed as your boss? thought I had better check before I opened my big mouth. :muted:

It would be a great help???

thanks
Toadess

[Chloe]

Where is it written? Or where did you find out?

[Toadess]

Well she does! Thanks for letting me know, where is this information?? I think I best have this back up too!! Are they allowed to help if there not getting paid???
And our manager says she will be doing More days!:running: Would mind but she not very helpful. But I can't see my manager saying anything!

Thanks again

First thing you need to check is your group constitution. If you are a community group run by a management committee you must have a constitution somewhere.
You should also check with the Charity Commission too if you are a registered charity - you could be breaking the rules of your charity if you employ a committee member.
A committee member or officer can help voluntarily within the group, but not to sure about them getting paid!
And, yes, sorry to say, but the Management Committee are your employers!

Thanks for that information Toni,
Taking everything on board and I will go into work and baffle em when I ask for all this information!!! I will get back to you cause I have a funny feeling that when I ask is the group constitution, they will stare and then want to know why I ask??
The thing is aswell she does do alot of fundraising, but some mum says she hounds them and to be truthfull scares them!! So I know its not just me.
they told me today she may be coming in every friday??? I write my notice as I type.........will let you know how I get on!!

If the voluntary management committee were doing their jobs correctly, you and all other staff members should have been given a copy of the group constitution. A copy should be on the parents notice board as well.
Don't do anything hasty and give in your notice yet.
How long as this person been on the committee?
Good luck, will be thinking of you.

Having a pro-active Committee Chair or having a re-active one...????...in todays 'busy' world parents have very little time to get 'involved' in the running of their children's pre-schools...with this in mind we are having to pay an Administrator to take on all the paperwork the current Chair does...sad to think we will now be 'fund' raising to pay the admin post not for resources for the children...makes me feel very...sad...
