Four Key Employee Issues Unique to Churches

Nearly every church deals with some type of employment matter, even if there’s only a part-time solo pastor in the picture. It thus stands to reason that nearly every church needs help with identifying and understanding key employment law issues—and doing so may help further reduce the chances of ever facing employment-related litigation.

That’s why we collaborated with attorney and CPA Frank Sommerville to create our new article series “Four Key Employee Issues Unique to Churches—and How to Navigate Them.” Along with detailed articles on the ministerial exception, job descriptions, internships, and employee handbooks, this series also includes a downloadable chart demonstrating ministerial exception court decisions, a sample job description, and a checklist for developing and maintain an employee handbook. And to give you a sneak peek into what this series has to offer, we’ve unlocked the internships article for a limited time only.

Get access to the entire series and our exclusive webinar with Sommerville on August 25 by joining our Advantage Membership. Sommerville will join us to answer employment questions submitted by our Advantage Members. You do not want to miss this exclusive opportunity.
