There are ma ny pitfalls that most non-profits have no idea exist. Most do not have ded icated HR full-time professionals\, and even if they do\, there are still issues that slip through the cracks. \nIn this interactive session\, we wi ll explore some of the blind spots and common supervisory mistakes that ca n create liability for your nonprofit organization and the steps you can t ake to address them. Among the items we will examine: \nHas your nonprofit properly categorized its workers as salaried exempt or hourly nonexempt? You may be surprised at the rules.\nWhen you want to revise employee job d escriptions and roles\, how much can a role change before it becomes a new position? How should you be documenting it?\nIs your organization observi ng meals and rest breaks correctly with proper documentation?\nIf employee s are using their personal equipment (cell phone\, tablet\, computer\, hom e Internet\, home electricity) on behalf of the organization\, are you pro perly reimbursing them?\nDo your pay stubs comply with very specific Calif ornia law? (Don’t rely exclusively on your payroll service)\nAre you rou nding time for your hourly people?\nWhen you have a big event\, do you let your hourly people take time off at different times?\nHow are you managin g paid time off (PTO)\, vacation and sick time\, which tend to be more gen erous in the nonprofit world?\nThese and many other questions will be answ ered during this seminar targeted expressly for nonprofit organizations\, large and small. Come with your real-world questions\, as we will create a mple time for Q&A. \nFacilitated by: Jon Light\nAs the managing partner at LightGabler LLP\, Jon and his team consult with over 6\,000 companies acr oss California on their day-to-day employment law needs.

Some nonprofits can envision success in a decade or two\; others expect t o continue for generations. If you’re not activating the next generation of leaders\, who will carry on? How are you adapting to demographic and s ocial changes that make board recruitment – and board leadership – mor e challenging? \nNonprofits that are serious about their own sustainabilit y should also be serious about planning for the smooth and thoughtful tran sition of their leadership. Whether this occurs due to intentional term li mits\, an unexpected vacancy\, or the anticipated stepping-down of a long- tenured leader\, being ready with a plan in place can help a nonprofit wea ther the inevitable storms of leadership transition. \nIn this webinar\, w e’ll discuss: \nHow organizations grow and change over time – and how leadership needs change as nonprofits grow.\nBoard recruitment with an eye toward succession planning.\nSuccession planning strategies for new and l ong-serving Board chairs.\nPreparing for planned (and unplanned) vacancies .\nLeadership sharing approaches that will help grow future leaders.\nTang ible tips for training and empowering others to lead.\nThis workshop is de signed for Nonprofit Executive Directors and Board Leadership. Team partic ipation is encouraged. \nFacilitated By: Andy Robinson\nAndy Robinson (www .andyrobinsononline.com) provides training and consulting for nonprofits\, businesses\, and government agencies. Over the past 28 years\, Andy has w orked with clients in 47 US states and across Canada.
