Many parishes and other Christian charities employ staff, either on a full-time or part-time basis. Whether it’s a full-time administrator or youth-worker, or someone who is paid to cut the grass in the churchyard, it’s important that the organisation has excellent employment practice. This not only ensures legal compliance but provides a good basis for individuals to contribute effectively to the church’s ministry.
