Can the housing management body disclose personal information of employees, such as salary, benefits, or home addresses, to board members?
• Personal information of employees can be disclosed to a board member if the information is necessary for the performance of the duties of the board member (section 40(1)(h)). • Only the information which the board member “needs to know” can be disclosed (section 40(4)). For example, in a housing management body with a small number of employees, board members may need to receive information on individual employees’ salaries as part of the budget process, depending on how the budget is normally prepared. In a larger housing management body, budget decisions may be made on summary information, so in that case individual salaries would not need to be disclosed.
