Staff Residence

[Heather Calvert]

Hello All,

Our organization has a long history of 1-2 staff members residing on site. For many years those staff members were exempt employees. A few years ago, we transitioned to having a non-exempt staff member residing on property. That employee has recently separated from the organization, and I'm taking a bit of time to consider if we need to continue this practice. I'd love to hear from you if you have experience with this sort of transition, or tried it and decided it is best to have someone on site.

As a bit of background, our site operates both as a historic site, and a community center- we are open 7 days a week, up to 12 hours a day. We do have some contracted security guards who are on site from 5:00-10:00 pm regardless of site activity. 

I appreciate any feedback you're willing to share!

Thanks,

Heather
