Charity Outreach, Paid Work, and Employee Compensation Policy
Last updated: 17 November 2023
This Policy describes how Coulsdon Community Partnership (the "Site", "we", "us", or "our") is committed to supporting our community through charitable initiatives. This policy outlines the guidelines for acquiring contacts and seeking paid work for charity-specific jobs, compensating employees (collectively, the "Services"), all while maximising the impact on the community. For purposes of this Policy, "you" and "your" means you as the employee providing the Services pursuant to this Policy.
The purpose of this Policy is to establish a structured approach for identifying and securing paid Service opportunities, compensating employees when necessary, and ensuring responsible financial management to achieve our charitable goals.
Please read this Policy carefully. By providing Services, you agree to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Policy, please do not provide us Services.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time, including to reflect changes to our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will post the revised Policy on the Site, update the "Last updated" date and take any other steps required by applicable law.
