What legel issues come into play with have volunteers work for company?

Posted on April 9th, 2010 by admin in volunteers | 1 Comment »

I want to hold an event in my community and need the help of volunteers to make this possible. What do I need to take into consideration to avoid any legel problems and is there any usefull sources for laws regarding hiring volunteers?thanks everyone

I’m a lawyer and I work with 3 volunteer organizations. The only legal issue that might come into play is the need for liability insurance during the event if a volunteer is injured or injuries someone else. That might not even be necessary depending on the type of event. Assess the liklihood of injury against the cost of a short-term liability policy.
