Volunteer Work
If you do civic or charitable volunteer work because your
employer asks that you do it, it should be counted as hours worked and you
should be paid for it. Here are some
examples of when you should be paid:
-
your employer asks you to do it
- your employer directs or controls the work
-
the work is done when you should be at your
place of business working
If you volunteer on
your own, without promise or expectation of being paid, the time spent should
not be treated as hours worked.
