Volunteer agreement signed by yourself and the company/organisation, this agreement is like a employment contract in regards to what they expect of you, what you expect of them, your H&S guidelines, procedures for complants. who you report to and other matters that affect you.
No! A volunteering agreement is radically different from an employment contract and it is misleading to suggest otherwise. As a volunteer you are not employed and a whole plethora of entitlements that come with "employee" status are missing.
A volunteering agreement is akin to a statement of best practise by the organisation concerned. By definition, as a volunteer, you are not entering into a contractual arrangement with the organisation to whom you are volunteering your services.
