Legal Issues

In general, interns are deemed to be employees and that means they are protected by the same laws and regulation that protect other employees in the State of Montana.  

For more information on compensation issues such as the work based learning exclusion, worker’s compensation, and other legal aspects affecting internships, please read the FVCC Internship Provider Handbook (PDF).  Or contact the Internship Coordinator to set up a convenient time for a visit with you at your worksite. 

Or view the legal resources available via FVCC’s membership in the National Association of Colleges and Employers.
