Employment standards acts dictate the minimum terms of employment
that must be complied with by employers in both the profit and not-for-profit
sectors. Focusing on the laws of Ontario and British Columbia, the Charities
and Not-for-Profit Employment Law Handbook takes you step-by-step through
the legislative requirements. From hours of work to overtime and from statutory
holidays to trade unions, it delivers knowledgeable answers to the employment
standards questions all not-for-profit institutions face. However, charities
and not-for-profit organizations also operate in a unique business environment,
with unique concerns. That’s why the Handbook includes valuable guidance
on:
- The personal liability of directors of not-for-profits in
relation to the breach of employment law provisions
- Why charities should check wage and benefit levels when
requesting funding and budgets
- Employment law implications of a merger or splitting up of a
charity
- The implications of recent and pending privacy laws on the
collection of personal information by organizations
- The application of employment law legislation to
volunteers
- The obligation of charities and not-for-profits to provide
for benefits during maternity or parental leave as well as termination or
severance pay obligations
- Employment selection decisions in light of human rights
legislation
- “Service rights” of contracted fundraisers
The Appendices (provided by the Canadian Centre for
Philanthropy) includes examples of an Executive Director Job Description, a
Supervisor Guide, an Employee Guide, a Personal Development Plan and Sample
Interview Questions for the Executive Director Position of a charitable
organization.
