Attorney-client communication. Confidential. That is a fair question, Doug. Could I suggest therefore that you ask the CFO for the information you are actually looking for, which is an estimate of the maximum exposure of ARRL under the long term disability policy in terms of payouts and an estimated effect of the claim on premiums. If in fact answers to those questions are available, I am sure that Barry will get them for you, and that procedure will avoid any need to disclose private information about the former employee or to create discoverable e-mails pertaining to the age of the employee. 73, Chris W3KD On Mon, Jan 19, 2015 at 2:43 PM, Doug Rehman <doug@k4ac.com> wrote:
Thank you Chris.
I am trying to get a sense for what the potential total amount of a benefit paid under the long term disability would be as such a payment will affect our future premiums.
If there is a way for me to obtain that information (perhaps directly from you), I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Doug

The following is an attorney-client privileged communication and work-product and is confidential.
Doug, I am most uncomfortable with this discussion under the circumstances. First, there are privacy entitlements of the employee (which most assuredly extend to his age) and because there is a pending worker's comp claim; and finally, because the employee's term of employment has ended and I don't know what action that former employee might decide to pursue, or the theory of any action that might be brought.
Nothing in your communications with Barry (and the rest of the Board) are privileged.

Barry:
What is the "normal retirement age" for Bill and how old is he?
Thanks, Doug

The following should be considered "Board Confidential" as it is a personnel matter.
Further to David's message of yesterday below, you should know that Bill had exhausted his eligibility under the ARRL's short term disability insurance plan and is in the process of applying for benefits under our long term disability insurance policy which pays a benefit, assuming he is "approved" by the insurance company, up to "normal retirement age". Approval of that claim is not in question at this point in time.
In addition, Bill has filed a workers' Compensation claim which is in dispute with our Workers' Compensation insurance carrier and that claim is working its way through the investigation process. Technically, it is out of our hands and is considered to be a matter between the insurance company and Bill and his attorney. We are providing information as requested by the appropriate attorneys.

As most of you know, last July ARRL Awards Branch Manager Bill Moore, NC1L was in a one-car auto accident that caused him serious injury and landed him in the hospital. Last night Pete Chamalian, W1RM posted the following after his most recent visit with Bill:
Jan 17 at 6:48 PM
I visited Bill this afternoon at Alexandria Manor, 55 Tunxis Avenue, Bloomfield, CT. He asked me to share the following with everyone:
After much consultation with my family and as a result of the life changing accident I suffered in July, 2014, I have decided to relinquish my position as Awards Manager at ARRL Hq and focus my full effort on physical therapy. I have enjoyed my years at ARRL and the countless friends I have made within the ham radio community.
I hope to maintain contact as best I can vie email and hope someday I will be able to get back on the bands. Email can be sent to me at BillMooreNC1L@Gmail.com and while I plan to read each and every one, I cannot promise to reply in a timely manner.
With much gratitude and sincere thanks,
Wilfred (Bill) Moore, NC1L
Barry Shelley is in charge of HR and has been in communication with Bill regarding his short-term and long-term disability benefits but I do not know what recent communication Bill has sent to Barry, if any. Because of the nature of his injuries the 2015-16 Plan did not envision Bill's return to work.
Because this is a personnel matter we will be limited in what we can say about it, but Barry will provide a more complete picture for you as confidential information when we return to the office.
