SUMMARY:MA Paid Family Leave Workshop: An Overview for Nonprofits
DESCRIPTION:Registration for this event is currently full\, but we welcome you to sign up for the waitlist. Please contact Russell Paul with any questions. \nMA Paid Family and Medical Leave Law will be altering the legal requirements of all employers operating in Massachusetts\, including nonprofits. This new law will require all employers to allow employees and covered individuals to\, among other things\, take up to 20 weeks of paid leave for an employee’s own health conditions and up to 12 weeks of paid leave for a family member’s illness. While the leave entitlements will not take effect until January 1\, 2021\, new notification requirements and payroll contribution deductions will go into effect by July 1\, 2019. This workshop is intended for all nonprofits that have or are planning to hire employees and covered individuals that want to know more about this new legal requirement. \nAgenda:\n\nWhat is the Paid Family and Medical Leave Law?\nHow will this affect nonprofit employers and employees?\nWhat does my nonprofit have to do prior to July 1\, 2019?\nHow can a nonprofit prepare for these changes?\nDo employees have any requirements?\nWho is considered a covered individual?\nWho is considered a family member?\nWhat is the payment schedule and how much does the employer need to pay during the leave?\nWhat is considered a serious medical need?\nWhat happens if I don’t comply with the new law?\n\nPresenters: Michael C. Birch\, labor and employement lawyer and business litigator at Hirsch Roberts Weinstein; and Charlotte Petilla\, labor and employment lawyer at Hirsch Roberts Weinstein.

SUMMARY:What it Means to Form and Operate a Nonprofit
DESCRIPTION:Registration: Click here. Please register by March 19. \nMission-driven founders of charitable organizations are visionaries. They see unmet needs and are driven to fill them. But decisions must be made on how to best capture the founder’s vision in an effective legal structure. There are several options to consider\, all with advantages and disadvantages\, and all with legal issues to consider: \nFor example\, should the group: \nBecome a tax exempt nonprofit?\nWork through a “fiscal agent”?\nMerge with an existing nonprofit?\nBecome an unincorporated association and trust?\nAdditionally\, existing nonprofits are often asked to become a fiscal agent or take over a newly formed charitable group. \nWhat legal ramifications should be considered before accepting this role?\nCome learn about various options that are available to engage in charitable activities while remaining in compliance with pertinent laws and regulations. \nPresenter: Elizabeth Reinhardt\, Law Offices of Elizabeth S.
