home base at the Caulfield Racecourse<\/a>.<\/p>\nGuerra\u2019s salary is a key part of the claim given he came to the Demons from a role as the boss of the Victorian Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n
If Guerra had lasted 12 months at the Demons chief executive, he would have been eligible to be paid $800,000 a season.<\/p>\n
But the Demons sacked him as Demons president Steve Smith said upon his departure: \u201cWe just got this one wrong\u201d.<\/p>\n
In documents seen by the Herald Sun, the claim states: \u201cMr Guerra was entitled to a salary package that included his base salary, any incentive bonus package and superannuation,\u201d according to court documents.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Guerra would be paid a base salary of $757,000 per annum for the first year\u2026 Mr Guerra was entitled to a $150,000 bonus during the first year of his employment comprising: an initial incentive bonus of $50,000 payable upon the Club being reasonably satisfied that he had commenced an agreed strategy development process\u2026the implementation of measures expected to result in a bottom-line improvement of at least $500,000 on the prior year \u2026 incentive bonus payments of up to $100,000, based on \u201cstretched key performance indicators.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Guerra\u2019s salary was to increase to $807,000 per annum effective from the second year of his employment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Melbourne have yet to file a defence to Guerra\u2019s statement but provided to this masthead on Sunday: \u201cThe Melbourne Football Club stands by its decision to part ways with Paul Guerra due to a loss of confidence in his ability to lead the club. The club will make no further comment at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guerra said in his statement of claims that he had raised the issue of underpayment of key staff with the AFL\u2019s chief people officer Sarah Fair.<\/p>\n
\u201cMs Fair said that the AFL knows there is a problem across the AFL of clubs applying incorrect awards and the engagement of contractors who may have been employees, and that other clubs were also looking into this issue,\u201d the documents stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sacked Melbourne chief executive Paul Guerra was paid a salary of $757,000 in his first season
