Employed staff are a vital component in any church or Christian charity. Having a policy in place to recognise this, and also as a basis for setting pay levels, is an important part of making sure that they are valued and properly looked after. This template policy and its associated guidelines provide a basis for a ‘paying staff’ policy, which churches and charities can easily adapt to best meet their own situation.
Topics included:
- General policy on paying staff recognising:
- The important role being fulfilled
- The need to remunerate staff fairly
- The need to acknowledge ‘conflicts of interest’
- The need for confidentiality
- What factors should churches and charities consider when setting remuneration levels?
- How should a church or charity payroll be administered?
