Sample Wording "Volunteers are expected to perform their duties on a scheduled, punctual and reliable basis. When unable to meet their commitments, volunteers need to inform their supervisor as far in advance as possible so that alternate arrangements can be made." "Volunteers may request a fellow volunteer to substitute, provided this volunteer has been screened and placed in the same position. Prior approval of the coordinator of volunteers is required". "Volunteers who take a leave of absence of more than {3 months} shall be rescreened conforming the current screening guidelines for new volunteers." Why? Be up front about the commitment that volunteers are making Be clear about any (re)screening requirements so volunteers and staff know what to expect Close any loopholes for volunteers to move around from one position to another (especially from a low risk to a high risk position). Key issues/procedures (Re) screening after a prolonged absence or leave Who can fill in for a volunteer internally (someone from a different program may have been screened differently)? After how long an absence does a volunteer have to be rescreened? Who needs to be notified of a volunteer's absence? |
