Volunteer Time

Individuals may volunteer to work for charitable or non-profit organizations without being considered as employees. However, employees may not "volunteer" to do similar work for their same employer without the time being counted as work time. For example, an ambulance driver for a private ambulance service cannot volunteer to pick up additional shifts on the weekend as a driver. Doing the same job or one very similar to the one the employee performs for the company will not be considered as volunteer time, but will be work time instead.
