I can't find a regulation on volunteering by non-exempt staff,

remember a big problem several years ago after our public TV

one of its bi-weekly fund drives. The regular staff
'volunteered' to work
very long hours as a donation to the station. The Department of
Labor was
not amused, and, if I remember correctly, assessed a large fine.
Best.

But if the staff could use the hours as a "donation" to the
station, couldn't that be written off their taxes? I know that's what
my husband and I do with the museum we volunteer at. Apparently, we can
take a mileage deduction and a time deduction. Did the staff do that?
Actually, I'm glad to hear the Department of Labor actually *does*
something. We have a situation here with people not paying what's been
mandated (gov't stuff) and no one will do anything about it. Just makes
me sick :-(
