Human Resources

The ability of an organization to make effective use of the energy, time and talents of its employees and volunteers is essential to accomplish the organization’s mission.

Non-profit organizations should place a high priority on exercising fair and equitable practices that attract and retain qualified volunteers and employees. Nonprofits have an obligation to adhere to all applicable employment laws and to provide a safe and productive work environment.

Questions include:

• Employees receive formal performance evaluations.
• The organization complies with all federal, state and local employment laws when hiring and employing personnel, including withholding and payment of payroll taxes.
• The percentage of the organization’s employment positions which utilize a clear, current and written job description.
