Different Rules for Nonprofit Organizations and Public Sector Entities

 
The rules are different with respect to nonprofit organizations and public sector entities. New York has provided guidance on interns in not-for-profit business. If a nonprofit organization is set up and operates strictly for charitable, educational or religious purposes, then unpaid volunteers may be used. In the public sector the FLSA regulations provide that individuals … [can volunteer for] a public agency for civic or humanitarian reasons … if their hours of service are provided with no promise expectation, or receipt of compensation for the services rendered (with certain exceptions). There are no limitations or restrictions imposed by the FLSA on the types of services which private individuals may volunteer to perform for public agencies.

In this 7-minute video our speaker, Jeffrey M. Landes, discusses whether volunteers at public agencies can be paid and not lose volunteer status. He also discusses the Second Circuit primary beneficiary test.

Jeffrey M. Landes is a member of Epstein Becker & Green, P.C.’s Employment, Labor & Workforce Management practice, in the firm's New York office. He counsels clients in a variety of industries including financial services; retail and communications; in all facets of employment law, including compliance with EEO laws and other statutes governing the workplace, independent contractor issues, executive terminations, restrictive covenants, drug testing, background checks, employee discipline and terminations, reorganizations, workplace investigations, leaves of absence, and development of handbooks and personnel policies and procedures. He prepares employment, consulting and separation agreements as well as counsels multi-national companies in unique labor and employment law issues.
