Show Notes


Episodes like today’s are where our podcast gets its name. Maybe you just read the title of today’s episode and you’re thinking “Wait, what? That HR question makes no sense!” If so, welcome to the podcast! That feeling of confused annoyance that you’re experiencing right now? Totally normal. Join Paul and CEDR Solution Center Advisor Grace Godlasky as they explain why the employee volunteers at your charitable event might not really be “volunteers”, as far as the Department of Labor is concerned. We have lots of other WTHJH episodes you can listen to as well, and once you’ve listened to a few, concepts like this will just leave you smirking lightly in disbelief, like Jim from The Office.   If you read the title and thought “Geez, is it Tuesday already? Okay Paul, make it make sense”, then it’s great to see you back! So yeah, even if your employee doesn’t want to be paid for working at your charitable event, there’s a whole 3-factor test that needs to be applied under the Fair Labor Standards Act to determine if it’s even maybe okay to let them volunteer. This week’s episode also has some pretty delicious-sounding food discussion in it though, and Grace is always a fun guest, so there’s no time like the present to queue this episode up and buff your HR Nerd credentials.
