Progress Report on Ad Hoc Committee UUFSCC Hiring and Firing Policies
Iran Mohsenin and Patt Taylor
We have been reading over the PERSONNEL POLICY MANUAL FOR
RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS and the UUFSCC EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK. And, a DVD
called
"CHURCH MUTUAL" .
We are attempting to contact other churches in the area to compare
policy. Iran and I have had 2 meetings to look over the materials. We
also had a meeting with Karen in the office.
There are two areas of the Employees Handbook that we are
interested in changing the wording and or adding to what is stated for
Dismissal: (4) Employees may be terminated with or without cause
and with or withour notice at any time by the Felllowship. Nothing in
this handbook or in any document or statement shall limit the right to
terminate employment at will.
We know that this is Californis Code so we can't change what is
said but we may add to this statement with permission. This is what we
are researching now
The other area of Concern is the formula in which way we
collect vacation pay time. The way it is currently assumes a person is
working full time all year. More information will be in the next
report.
