cash for kids

I was informed by a paid employee of Cash For Kids that she gets her normal wages paid in to her bank account but she gets a cash in hand bonus every week, depending on how much she brings in through her collections. I do not know if its true i hope not. But is this not illegal? I have tried ot contact cash for kids as i feel this is very alarming due to the fact people donate their cash fir kids not for the employees to receive a cash in hand bonus. Anyone any ideas who i can inform regarding this matter? i am worried if it is not true is she helping herself to a cash bonus

    Yes, this is contravening tax laws apart from anything else. You can inform HMRC. Did she say what %age she gets for her bonus? If not, this may contravene fundraising legislation. Have a word with the Charity Commission helpline.

    Just shows that if peoples donations aren't paying salaries then they are funding this sort of thing...

    Which Cash for kids? It's certainly not ethical, and I think certainly breaks several laws.

    If you are in England / Wales contact the charity commission, if Scotland OSCR.
    for more info check out www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk . You'll find me there.

    yes, I realise I may appear cold and heartless a lot of the time.
