Florida Community Association Manager Practice Exam

Members do not have access to which of the following records?

1. Decision summaries of board meetings

2. Personnel records of employees

3. Financial statements of the community

4. General correspondence of the association

The correct answer is: Personnel records of employees

Members do not have access to personnel records of employees because such records typically contain sensitive personal information that is protected under privacy laws. These laws ensure that an individual's personal information, including employment history, performance evaluations, and compensation details, is kept confidential. In the context of community associations, while members have the right to review many operational records, personnel files are generally restricted to protect the privacy of the employees. This limitation is important for maintaining trust and confidentiality in the workplace, reflecting the balance between transparency in governance and the rights of individuals to privacy. In contrast, decision summaries of board meetings, financial statements, and general correspondence of the association are typically accessible to members as they pertain to the governance and financial matters of the community.
