Can the library disclose personal information of employees, such as salary, benefits, or home address, to board members?
• Individually identifiable information of employees should not be available to board members on a routine basis. • However, this information can be disclosed to a board member if the information is necessary for the performance of the duties of the board member (e.g., to the Chair or Treasurer) (section 40(1)(h)). • Only the information that the board member can be disclosed (section 40(4)). For example, in a library 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 library, budget decisions may be made on summary information, so in that case individual salaries would not need to be disclosed.
