The Legal Risk Score of a Volunteer Agreement Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document does not provide any entitlement to statutory benefits such as annual leave or long service leave, which means volunteers may lack certain protections and benefits typically afforded to employees.
- Volunteers are required to keep all information related to the organization confidential, potentially limiting their freedom to use such information for personal or public benefit even after their volunteering period has ended.
- The agreement can be terminated by either party at any time without notice or reason, which may lead to a lack of job security and unpredictability for the volunteer.
