Understanding employment status is essential for charities, not only to ensure compliance but also to protect the organisation from legal, financial and reputational risks.
In this webinar, we explained the different categories of “employment” status including employees, workers, self-employed contractors and volunteers, and outlined the key legal tests used to determine them. Using real-world scenarios, we highlighted common pitfalls and how to avoid them, from engaging freelancers to paying trustees.
We looked closely at the potential employment status of volunteers, making it relevant for charities that may not have paid staff but still rely on volunteer support.
Whether you’re a charity leader, HR professional or trustee, this session equipped you with the knowledge to make informed decisions and safeguard your organisation.”
