I've a question re: the use of volunteers relative to the Fair
Labor Standards Act. We have received alot of verbage recently
on the subject from our personnel office -- one comment has
been that an individual is not allowed to volunteer on a job
for which he/she was previously paid. Translated, this means
that someone who has been employed on temporary funds (e.g.,
IMS grant) can not continue to work in the same capacity, but
as a volunteer, once the funds have run out --
At least this is how it has been presented to us. Is this the
case? Comments? suggestions?
