Hi
I am on the committee for a charity.
The problem is in 2007/08 they spent about 50% more than their income which left the bank balance very small.
Anyway 2009 so far has been a struggle and a couple of staff didn't have their 1 year contract renewed. Anyway in July the other 3 committee members all resigned leaving me as the last man standing so I took over as Chair
The local Council fund us and they were contacted in April for some extra cash to pay the salaraies for 2 months.
Anyway they now want to implement changed via myself which involve cutting staff pay and hours.
We pay a company to look after our HR issues and unfortunately they have not been contacted to change all the staff contracts.
A new member of staff has been employed to undertake the managers role.
But now as Chair and the only member it's left to me to undertake all the changes with pressure from the council.
I have spoke to our HR advisor's and they want to know the changes and be involved else we are on our own.
How do I tell the council to back off until I get it all firmed with the HR co.
I have had E-Mails from the council which are pretty much saying implement change or rethink your future funding.
I feel proper dumped in the doo'doos as lets face it Chair is a volunteers role and the staff are pretty much sending me grievances left right and centre.
