I'm not sure where this thread left off but in case it has not been noted
yet, you might want to take a look at the Fair Labor Standards Act on line.
 The issue here is essentially that an employee cannot volunteer to perform
services he/she would otherwise be paid for.  Could bring the feds down on

As I have been reading this thread I have begun to have concerns about the
insurance issue.  Would the full liability be in force if a staff member
was "volunteering" rather than being paid for their time?
