Either an employee or a volunteer may sue a nonprofit corporation which, through its agents, defames the employee or volunteer by saying or writing untrue things about the employee or volunteer, where the untrue things are learned or heard by third parties. Discrimination is not always illegal. Wrongful discrimination, however, is illegal. This part talks about wrongful discrimination. Wrongful discrimination exposes a nonprofit corporation to criminal liability, administrative sanctions and civil liability to the victim of the discrimination.
Federal law carries more severe sanctions, however.
You need to make a special review of each of those agreements when you enter into them to avoid inadvertent violations. You should also make certain that the terms of your agreements are not mutually inconsistent, requiring you to do one thing in one contract and barring you from identical conduct in another contract. Worker's compensation is an odd mix of statutes, insurance companies and an administrative agency. While certain kinds of employees are exempt from the requirement of worker's compensation, the exemptions are narrow and courts do not favor them. There is no special exemption for nonprofit corporation employees.
