Under the new Act, a society must disclose any remuneration paid to a director. Remuneration is money or other compensation paid for work or services performed. Amounts paid to a director for being a director and for acting in any other capacity must be disclosed separately. The disclosure must be made in a note to the annual financial statements, which are available to society members and to the public.
(In a change that takes effect in 2018, a society must not remunerate a director for being a director unless the bylaws expressly permit; see [[belowhttps://wiki.clicklaw.bc.ca/index.php?title=10_Changes_in_the_New_Societies_Act_You_Should_Know_About&action=edit&section=10#Changes_are_coming_in_2018_that_affect_whether_directors_can_be_paid|below]].)
As well, societies must disclose the remuneration of any employees or contractors making over $75,000. If a society has more than 10 employees or contractors making over that amount, they must disclose the top 10.
