Volunteerism is a form of organizational support that allows employees to pursue volunteer opportunities while remaining on the payroll. Volunteering and community involvement is a major aspect of many corporations due to the fact that it allows the company to boost their popularity and improve their relationship with local communities. If an employee finds a charity or community service that resonates with him or her, the company may agree to sponsor that particular employee. This involves providing pay to the employee, as well as donating financial resources to the charity or service. Some companies who are heavily involved in the community require their employees to engage in volunteerism in order to fulfill the company vision. Compensation arising from volunteerism is usually handled through wage and salary administration practices.
