Whale, my feelings are that that you’re all for paying a voluntary Chairman but my gut instinct tells me that you’ll be in the minority.

I know this job can take time and effort but at the end of the day it is voluntary.

I’ve asked other people what the situation is in their building and I’m yet to find where a Chairman is being paid.

I’m plucking numbers out of the air here but I’d be surprised if it more than 1% (and that on the generous side) are being paid.

More comments on this matter from other forum readers would be appreciated.

EC Chair persons job is “VOLUNTARY”

Google the word VOLUNTARY and all the various dictionaries will tell you in various words that is means done without pay.

Hi Whale,

Thanks for the reply.

I am aware that in NSW THIS section of the Strata Schemes Management Act applies.

However, my question is “is it normal practice for the Chairman to charge for services rendered”.

From my admittedly limited experience it would seem the answer is “rarely”.
