Common HR Compliance Mistakes in a Nonprofit

It is no secret: people drive the mission in a charitable nonprofit.

So, human resources are critical towards the overall success of a nonprofit. Staff are the key to turning your nonprofit into a successful one. But, people providing services to nonprofits can be classified as: employees, independent contractors, or volunteers.

Because employment laws and specifics are complicated, and subject to change, Tosha Anderson, CPA, of The Charity CFO sits down with Moses Balian, an HR Consultant at Justworks, in the latest episode of A Modern Nonprofit Podcast.
