In an article in the New York Times titled "The Unpaid Intern, Legal or Not", author Steven Greenhouse discusses the fact that some states, like Oregon and California have begun investigating companies for unfair practices regarding unpaid internships. Music Business programs have used internships and cooperative education in order to support students broadening their education and in some cases, earning academic credit for supervised work experience related to their major or career goal. The University of New Haven requires all its Music Industry majors to complete two semesters of Internship. The purpose of this presentation is to introduce MEIEA members to some of the legal and ethical issues regarding unpaid internships. The bulk of the presentation will concentrate of the Department of Labor's Fact Sheet #71: Internship Programs Under The Fair Labor Standards Act. This document discusses the circumstances under which individuals who participate in “for-profit” private sector internships or training programs may do so without compensation. It also lists the six criteria that must be applied when making the determination as to whether or not an internship program meets this exclusion. Some other issues, like Insurance and Liability, will also be discussed. (view session)
