Incorporating, signing a lease, hiring staff? Legal advice can help you avoid costly errors.Legal Services for Non-profits: Staff Contracts
Churches, charities and other non-profit corporations are subject to the same complex rules governing their employment relationships as business corporations. When they have to rely on volunteers or employees with limited training in human resources to handle management and payroll functions, serious errors can be made which can be costly to the organization. Determining in what circumstances a staff member can be engaged as an independent contractor or must be hired as an employee requires knowledge of the legal principles that apply to these relationships. Legal assistance may also be required with such challenges as complying with employment standards requirements, understanding your obligations to accommodate employees’ disabilities and handling terminations appropriately.
