I work for non-profit arts organization that provides housing for
artists and arts organizations.  We are looking at the feasibility of
implementing a participation scheme based on mandatory participation,
requiring member residents to either play or pay.  Our accountant is of
the opinion that a mandatory participation requirement cannot be
supported unless there is a penalty for not participating. Otherwise,
she wants us to treat all participation as a compensation issue.
 
Has anyone encountered this?  I have seen many discussions about play or
pay on the list, but am not clear if anyone has actually ever
established a system of play or pay.  I tried to search the archives,
but was unsuccessful in finding any info on this.
 
Thanks for your help.
