F2비자 신분이며 얼마전부터 근처에 있는 꽃집에서 발런티어를 하고 있습니다.
일주일에 몇번씩 가서 이것저것 도와주고 돈을 받지는 않습니다.
아는분께서 돈을 받지 않더라도 상업적인 곳에서 발런티어를 할 경우 불법이라고 해서요.이런 경우에도 문제가 발생할 수 있는지 궁금합니다.
학교 인터네셔널 센터로 부터 받은 이메일 입니다.
If you won’t get any compensation at all, then it is OK.
However, please be careful that if people would usually get money for what you are going to do, then the employer will need to pay you.
(It is labor law). So if the position is designed as paid position but you are doing it for free because you are not allowed to get paid, then that is not allowed.
If the position is designed as volunteer position, then you can do it.아는 미국분의 답변입니다.
The position that you are doing as a volunteer IS just that – it is not a “paid position” with a formal position description. When I was working as the Director of Research at my former company prior to retirement, I had several international volunteers and never got into any trouble. Even our legal office approved the arrangement with the blessing of INS.
