Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 Can anyone clear up the question of the legalities of having paid staff act as volunteers for the same service they work. Many services including ours has a paid daycrew but need volunteers at night and on weekends to staff the primary units.Those who volunteer are not required to stay at the station but may if they wish. They are required to be on the unit within 10 minutes of the initial page during the time they have volunteered for. All of the people who work as daycrew at this particular service would also like to volunteer for several night and / or weekend shifts per month. I have contacted the US Dept of Labor and they seem as confused as I am. Can anyone shed a little light on this subject? Thanks MF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
