Time volunteered is reported by the person who did the work. No one will be checking to see whether the time reported is accurate. Teams will decide what to do about tasks for which there were no volunteers. Time economies affirm that community work is done for the good of the whole. Putting a monetary number on our work devalues it.
All work given to the community is important.
This value would be undermined by valuing labor at varying rates for different forms of work. 2. personal satisfaction for doing good work that is appreciated by others. 3. knowing that other members are also doing the best quality work they can for the community results in an esprit de corps and sense of group awareness, appreciation and commitment. 4. knowing that other members are contributing a similar amount of work for the good of the community decreases resentment. Although it is not necessary that there be a high level of accuracy in the recording of labor contributed, there are other uses for labor records beyond the computation of an average.
