What a year for Not-for-Profits and Charities! Bill C-470, dealing with salary caps for charities, almost became law. Several pieces of employment legislation impacted on organizations in the sector. The CRA is in the midst of a program of audits of NFP associations, clubs and organizations. The federal budget included a number of relevant provisions. And, of course, the Canada Not-for-Profit Corporations Act was proclaimed in force on October 17, 2011, giving corporations governed by the Canada Corporations Act three years to continue under the new legislation.
At BLG we are here to help in dealing with all of these changes and transitions. In this edition we address:
- avoiding risk vis a vis volunteers
- Competition Act issues
- the impact of pension reform on not for profits and charities
- more on extra-provincial registrations
- transitioning under the CNCA
- what employment policies your organization should have
