When Are Nonprofit Employees Volunteering

Description

For Nonprofit Executive Directors, Human Resources, Volunteer Program Managers, and Board Members. Do your employees ‘volunteer' to help at your fundraisers or other events? This session will review the wage and hour laws as they pertain to employee volunteering, including a number of U.S. Department of Labor Opinion letters issued December 2008. This speaker will address practical questions - Who qualifies as a volunteer? May employees volunteer? How to know when hours are ''worked'' or ''volunteered''? - and associated record keeping. Practical risk management; understandable legal perspective. Did you know that most litigation involving nonprofits comes from disgruntled former employees? Attending this session is definitely worth your while. Understand the types of policies and practices you need to clarify who is a volunteer. PRESENTER Linda Frischmeyer practices employment law at the Landerholm Memovich, Lansverk & Whitesides, P.S. Law Firm. She is licensed in both Washington and Oregon.
