Gain a better understanding of how to correctly determine the legal status of an employee vs.
volunteer.The use of nonemployees to perform services is becoming more prevalent than ever, and challenges to these relationships are growing just as rapidly. Federal and state agencies, as well as individuals themselves, are increasingly claiming that these services were really acts of employment and that the individuals are owed a minimum wage, overtime, reimbursement of expenses, employee benefits, and more.
Organizations that use volunteers, unpaid interns, students, and trainees to provide services are all potentially at risk. Legal claims alleging that these individuals have been misclassified and are really employees can result in dire consequences, with penalties and fines that can pose an existential threat to an organization. Taking proactive steps now to reduce misclassification risks may involve a small amount of time and resources, but these steps can prevent substantial fines and penalties later.
