An important responsibility of your non-profit board is
to ensure the organization has effective human resource policies and management
systems in place to work towards its mission.
| Challenge your awareness of your
board's human resource accountabilities by identifying whether the
following statements are true or false. |
| Because volunteers
are not paid employees, the board does not need to set policies
regarding the management of volunteers. |
|
| Charities are
exempt from employment standards legislation. |
|
| As the legal
employer of all personnel, the board is accountable for the organization's
working conditions. |
|
| If the performance
of the Executive Director (or senior staff) is inadequate, it is
the board's responsibility to discipline and, if necessary, fire
this person. |
|
| Because board
members are volunteers, they do not require job descriptions or
annual evaluations. |
|
Did you meet
the challenge? If you have any incorrect answers, you may want to review
your board's duty to oversee the organization's human
resources.
Otherwise, go ahead and explore your board's responsibility
for implementing assessment and control systems.
