Charitable Organizations and Fundraising

Charitable organizations are those that are established for a charitable purpose. Fundraising counsels plan, manage, advise, consult, or prepare materials with respect to solicitations for charitable organizations.  Professional fund-raisers request contributions that will be used for a charitable purpose or that will benefit a charitable organization. These are regulated under Chapter 202, subchapters I and II, of the Wisconsin Statutes.


Professional Employer Organizations and Groups

Professional employer organizations enter into written contracts for the provision of the non-temporary, ongoing employee workforce of a client. Under those contracts, the professional employer organization has the obligation to pay the employees providing services for those clients from its own accounts. A professional employer organization is not a temporary help agency or a temporary help company. These are regulated under Chapter 202, subchapter III, of the Wisconsin Statutes.
