| 12.13.05 | Employers Beware: Potential FLSA Liability For Employee Volunteer Work
Abstract: Many employers, whether not-for-profit or for-profit, encourage employees to be involved in employer-sponsored charitable and other volunteer activities. This is especially true during the holiday season. Beware, however, that simply labeling this employee activity as “volunteering” does not render an employer free from liability and responsibilities under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). Indeed, the kind of volunteer work being performed, how often it occurs, and to what extent the employee is compensated for the work will determine whether these arrangements pass muster under the FLSA. |
