Governor Conflict of Interests / Employees with Benefits over £100k
It is a statutory requirement for all Governors at Commonweal to record any conflict of interests held either personally or through a company or relative or partner. An ‘interest’ in this case, is a situation where a member of the governing body may be affected personally or financially, directly or indirectly, or in some other way by a decision made at a meeting where the governor is present.
It is also a statutory requirement to include a note on the number of employees whose benefits exceed £100k, in £10k bandings, for the previous year ended 31 August.
Benefits for this purpose include salary, employers’ pension contributions, other taxable benefits and termination payments.
There was 1 (one) employee, for the year ending 31st August 2022, whose aggregate salary and benefits (as noted above) was between £100k and £110k.
