Additional details

Our employee policies are posted in our personnel policies

What we have in place
  • We have personnel policies and can devote time to this prject
How this will help
This project will save us $2,430 , allowing us to use the money we receive more efficiently

In addition to practicing nonprofit law, we head a number of community coalitions and do policy and legislative work. Having employee policies concisely stated in one manual will help us manage our diverse workforce and will help people working for us understand exactly what their responsibilities are.
