Employee & Volunteer Handbook Development

We are looking for a volunteer who can develop an employee and volunteer handbook as we've hired our first W2 Employee (CEO) for solo-staffed organization with several volunteers between Board of Directors, Community Steering Committee, and Partners. We're hoping to find a partner with a background in HR and/or operations to improve transparency and accountability by clarifying our employees’ rights and our policies, benefits, and other expectations for performance and conduct in a new employee handbook that is sensitive to our org being based in Massachusetts with a remote employee in New Jersey. This project will contain the following activities:

-Conducting an audit of our existing policies including reviewing our existing materials and asking any clarifying questions
-Identify policies that we should modify and any new policies or areas that should be addressed and included based on a governance audit facilitated with pro-bono legal counsel at the end of FY26.
-Present a detailed outline of a new handbook
-Finalize the handbook after receiving feedback from our team

To prepare, we've designated a team member to oversee the project (CEO). We'll provide you with internal communications regarding employment policies, and any other employment policies that we have in place. The volunteer should expect to spend 15-20 hours over 4-5 weeks.
