" n9 S6 C! t9 z( `4 I) ]Edmonton — Alberta Treasury Branch officials will have to explain why more than $26 million in bonuses were handed out to staff after a year of dismal performance last year, says the head of the province’s public accounts committee.

Dunn’s annual report, released last week, said ATB earned a net income of $30 million in the 2007-08 fiscal year, a fraction of its $262 million target.

In the 2006-07 fiscal year, the bank earned a net income of more than $270 million.

Dunn said management overrode ATB’s policy that bonuses are tied to achieving or exceeding set targets.

The reason given for breaking the rule, Dunn said, was that “staff morale and retention” were at stake.* `2 o. J- ]. k, {, W0 z

“If there are no consequences for not achieving objectives, then individuals in GFM are being rewarded for not achieving corporate objectives,” Dunn wrote.

The whole purpose of bonuses is to motivate people to exceed expectations, he said, and giving bonuses when people fail completely defeats that.7 O, E; ~' R) W' l. c. y8 w; o
