The Editor,
This is an open request to the City of Cornwall’s HR department regarding their hiring and personnel contracting policy.
Please amend your policies to prevent payment of future salaries to people who no longer perform duties for the City.
I’m sure it’s embarrassing to HR and wasteful for taxpayers.
The wording can be simple and very straightforward: No Work – No Pay.
That should save a bundle and alleviate the burden on an already stretched City budget.
I don’t need to know the circumstances behind the former CAO’s departure, I just want to see immediate changes in the way the City executes contracts when hiring someone.
$229,464.90 is a lot of money, money which could have been put to other more practical use. How many years do we have to pay this salary? 5 years?
If so, that amounts to way over one million dollars! ($1,145,000 to be exact). That’s a lot of sunshine/windfall for someone no longer contributing to the City’s well-being.
In addition to this unnecessary expenditure, which could have been prevented with proper contractual language, we still have to pay the current CAO’s salary which basically doubles the spending for this position.
This leaves us all shaking our heads and saying WTF? (Way Too Funny? – Not!)
