Coverage – Profit or Non-Profit Enterprise

Enterprise coverage doesn’t apply to charitable, educational, religious, or similar activities of private non-profit enterprises except where such activities are performed in connection with Fair Labor Standards Act-covered hospital, nursing care facility, or school, or if the enterprise is operated in connection with commercial ventures, such as a gift shop or thrift store operated by the organization.

If you are not certain whether your enterprise is operated for profit or not, you might consider asking a knowledgeable person at work.

Do you work for a non-profit enterprise that performs charitable, educational, or religious activities?
