A common misconception is that nonprofits don’t need to adhere to the same standards as for-profit organizations regarding labor law compliance. In reality, nonprofits are no different — they must also follow federal labor laws such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). Additionally, nonprofits have to comply with any state-mandated labor laws.

Why Do Labor Laws Matter to Nonprofits?

Adhering to all applicable labor laws is important to nonprofits for multiple reasons.

Protecting Workers

These laws protect nonprofit employees in several ways. They ensure that workers receive at least the mandatory federal and state minimum wage and any required overtime pay. They also help safeguard individuals against mistreatment on the job, such as sexual harassment and discrimination.

Promoting Fairness and Equality

Labor laws stipulate maximum work hours and ensure better working conditions by requiring rest breaks and meal times. Child labor laws restrict the employment of minors by ensuring that the duties they perform are safe and appropriate for their age.

Improving Worker Engagement

These laws help keep workers at nonprofits engaged by helping to create a satisfying work environment. This factor can contribute to higher worker retention and reduced turnover rates, which can be an issue in organizations with tight budget constraints.

Ensuring Safe Working Conditions

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and many state agencies implement laws intended to establish and maintain less hazardous work environments. Nonprofits that adhere to these regulations can reduce the likelihood of workplace injuries and illnesses that hinder productivity and drive up costs.

Strengthening Economic Security

Following these laws helps nonprofits operate more productively and efficiently, minimizing expenses and making these often cash-strapped organizations more financially viable.

Avoiding Legal Fines and Penalties

Compliance with these laws is crucial for avoiding violations that could result in substantial fines and penalties, which could cause significant financial hardship for nonprofits.

These benefits will help you build a responsible and ethical organization that supports your mission and helps foster long-term success and sustainability. You can demonstrate to all stakeholders that your nonprofit is a worthy cause and that you value and protect your employees.
