Former chief executive received £500k payout © BBC Charlie Parker resigned in 2020 over concerns he had taken a second job with a UK property company
The former chief executive of the Government of Jersey received a £500,000 payout after resigning from the role over a second job.
Charlie Parker quit following concerns over his work at a UK property company.
He joined the civil service in 2018 and the severance amounts to around twice his annual salary.
It was criticised by the island s government regulator for being more than the maximum entitlement under his contract.
However, the government argued it was necessary to avoid the possibility of more costly claims he might make against the States Employment Board (SEB), following his resignation.
