530.20. The members of a board of directors shall be compensated, in accordance with the by-law passed by the board, for any loss of income resulting from their attending the sittings of the board. They are also entitled to be reimbursed, in accordance with that by-law, for expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.
The by-law must take into account the conditions prevailing in the territory contemplated by this Part as well as the following conditions:(1) the sittings of the board of directors must be held, so far as possible, on dates fixed so as to avoid interference with the remunerated working hours of the members and to enable them to use convenient and economical means of transportation;
(2) if, despite the provisions of subparagraph 1, a member sustains a loss of income, the board of directors may, on request, compensate him therefor provided the following three conditions are met:(a) that the territory where the sitting is held is not the territory of the municipality represented by the member pursuant to paragraph 1 of section 530.13 or the local municipal territory in which he normally resides;
(b) the member is self-employed or works in conditions which prevent him from receiving a remuneration while absent to attend such sittings;
(c) the loss of income is certain and not merely probable.
The by-law must be submitted to the Minister for approval.
