Add Comment Question: If I’m a “volunteer” but paid a monetary amount for the work provided am I classed as an employee or other? And what recourse do I ha e for termination rights? Answer: Thank you for your question. Generally speaking, any person who supplies services for a wage would not be considered a volunteer, but rather, an employee. Your recourse for termination pay would likely be similar to that of any other employee. Should you need any advice with respect to a termination, I would recommend that you contact us at the number below for a consultation at your earliest opportunity.
