I work as Director of Development for a non-profit organization in Mississippi. My education and experience is in non-profit planning and administration, with an emphasis in grantwriting. The director of my organization is very well versed in her speciality, but is relatively new at non-profit management. She has been told by our bookkeeper that only the ED and bookkeeper/HR are allowed by law to have access to salary information.
I have written grants for a variety of organizations and have never had salary information restricted from me. I have always kept that information confidential for ethical reasons, but have felt it was necessary for performing my job duties. I cannot find anywhere that defines who is and is not allowed access to salary information. I have only found, as I was already aware, that certain employee records, particularly those pertaining to ADA or medical issues, must be kept confidential. Please advise.
