Providing members with general financial information should be a Board responsibility. My initial question made it clear that I am not asking about any one individual or case. I simply would like to know how much (total expense dollars) the club has spent on settling personnel terminations in the last three years (let’s say April 2016 to 2019). One total amount for the last three years, not individual years or individual cases. A financial question…accounting question if you will.

The Board’s first response to my question was a correct one…that the Controller (notice they did not say Human Resouce Manager) would have the information I am asking for…YES! Because it is financial information! I agreed and am still waiting for the answer from the Controller.

Financial information disclosure should not lead to a lawsuit anymore than a review of the Club’s financial statements would. I would never want the club to be subjected to a lawsuit for any reason.

Could it be the Board does not want us to know this information. I certainly hope this is not the case. I think we should know the dollar amount of all significant/major Board actions/decisions and I believe most members would agree. (I certainly hope you agree too.) After all, it is our money.

Could it be no one knows this information? If not, those making these costly decisions should know the financial ramifications of their actions and/or inactions. This should include all line Managers, especially the Human Resources Manager, the General Manager, and the Board.

So once again, I am asking for the total cost of all personnel settlement expenses in the last three years (April 2016 to April 2019). Not names, not cases, not number of cases, not positions, not dates, not departments etc…just one total dollar amount of all expenses incurred from employee terminations for the three year period.

Thank you.

What did the Board decide?

Thank you,
