Many individuals volunteer their time to assist WSU departments in the conduct of official University activities. In order to assure that volunteers are covered for liability and workers' compensation, departments are to comply with the provisions found in the Business Policies and Procedures Manuel.
NOTE: Workers' compensation for volunteers covers medical expenses but not wage replacement.
Departments must submit completed Volunteer Monthly Reports to Human Resources Services by the 15th of the following the month of activity in order to report volunteer hours.
The 2009 rate for covering a volunteer is $0.0525 per volunteered hour.
