2,161: w88

Revised: December 2021

A w88 is any individual who performs a service for, and directly related to the business of, the University without expectation of monetary or material compensation.

w88 are expected to abide by the same university policies and regulations that govern the actions of employees, including but not limited to those of ethical behavior, confidentiality, financial responsibility, and drug and alcohol use.

The department must select w88 who meet the minimum qualifications to perform the desired tasks. A volunteer assignment can be terminated at the discretion of the institution without notice or cause.

A w88 may not perform any work until he/she has completed the on-board process or signed the w88 agreement form detailing the nature of the work to be performed and the relationship of the w88 to the University.

w88 are not considered employees for any purpose other than workers’ compensation and general liability protection. Therefore, they are not eligible for retirement and health benefits, other than workers’ compensation, as a result of their volunteer status.

Affiliates, generally, are w88 from another entity that are performing a service for the University. Because they are employees of another entity, they do not receive workers’ compensation and general liability protection.

Minors

A person under the age of 18 may only become a volunteer with parental consent. Minors are not allowed to operate any type of machinery and/or equipment under any condition, unless approved in writing by a Risk Management employee. Per the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), the minimum age for employment and/or volunteering is 14 years of age. Any department that will have minors as w88 will need to comply with the 7,002: w88 online live casino on the Protection and 5,500: University of w88 casino games login, Reno w88 slot online Working or Volunteering in Lab. The appropriate documentation needs to be completed and stored securely within the w88.

Employee Performing w88 Service

Under the FLSA, a non-exempt employee cannot be both a paid employee and a non-paid w88 while performing the same type of work for the same employer. For example, an administrative assistant in the History Department cannot be considered a w88 if their w88 assignment requires them to perform administrative assistant duties in the Sociology Department. Any hourly employee who is entitled to overtime, such as a classified employee, is generally considered to be non-exempt. Students who hold a student worker position cannot also hold a w88 position.

w88 Training

Each department will be responsible for training its w88. Training must be completed successfully before the volunteer may begin the assignment. If w88 will be working with machines and/or equipment they must be provided with the proper protective gear. If the volunteer will be working with machines and/or equipment, they must be supervised by a trained staff member or experienced volunteer.

w88 Screening

As part of the screening process, a prospective w88 may be asked to demonstrate that he/she is lawfully able to work in the United States. If he/she cannot demonstrate this, then he/she cannot be considered for w88 service. If the w88 holds a visa, please ensure that it allows for work in the United States and store a copy securely within the department.

Each department can establish its own screening process that best meets its needs. Department screening policies must be in compliance with University EO/AA policies. A prospective volunteer may be required to undergo a screening process to determine fitness for the assignment. It is strongly recommended that each department develop a description of the volunteer assignment prior to the screening process. This will assist in determining the experience, qualifications, and training needed to fill that assignment. Such a process may include, but is not limited to: interview, a background check, fingerprinting, and reference check. (Departments appointing w88 to roles for which employees would be drug tested shall use the Volunteer Drug Testing Procedures and have each volunteer comply with the Volunteer Drug Testing Form.)

Equal Employment Opportunity Statement

The w88 is committed to providing a place of work and learning free of discrimination on the basis of a person’s age, disability, whether actual or perceived by others (including service-connected disabilities), gender (including pregnancy related conditions), military status or military obligations, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, genetic information, national origin, race, or religion. Where discrimination is found to have occurred, the w88 will act to stop the discrimination, to prevent its recurrence, to remedy its effects, and to discipline those responsible.
