55 Additional Compensation Components and Requirements SOCIAL SECURITY ALLOWANCE (SSA): See factors for this calculation in the Treasurers Newsletter which approximate 6% of clergy members self-employment (SE) liability. HOUSING/UTILITIES: Parishes may provide church-owned housing and church paid utilities or they may provide a housing allowance in addition to the cash salary paid to clergy member. A housing allowance will be determined in conjunction with the Canon for Mission Leadership based upon housing costs in the parish community and the clergy s full-time equivalent status. HOUSING EQUITY ALLOWANCE: Equal to % of the amount recorded as "compensation" by the church pension fund (for priests with over 5 years of service since ordination). This applies only if the rector is provided housing by the church or receives a housing allowance that does not permit an ownership interest in that housing. See Section 1.3 of the Treasurers Newsletter for more information. MEDICAL, DENTAL AND LIFE INSURANCE: Whether coverage under this health insurance plan is for a single person, two persons, or a family is left to the sole discretion of the priest. The parish s minimum contribution rate to the medical insurance plan shall be set periodically by the Mission Council in accordance with the plan. Parishes must contribute at least 85% of the cost of medical insurance premium for clergy regularly scheduled to work 1,5 hours or more per year. At its September 2, 215 meeting, the former Executive Council expanded on this policy by allowing parishes to provide different levels of premium support for different plans as a way of encouraging employees to move away from plans that might result in the imposition of Cadillac plan excise taxes beginning in 22. Parishes that have not already done so are encouraged to phase-in employee premium contributions particularly for the CIGNA Open Access Plus In-Network plan. Premiums for life insurance and dental coverage for full-time clergy must be paid 1% by the employer. Medical for part-time clergy will be based upon the part-time guidelines. PENSION FUND CONTRIBUTIONS: Calculated based upon compensation according to Church Pension Fund formula based upon type of housing provided. See section 6 of the Treasurers Newsletter for guidance on calculating this benefit. PROFESSIONAL EXPENSES: Parishes should provide an annual professional expense allowance for reimbursement of documented expenses according to a Vestry-approved accountable plan. Expenses incurred in the course of professional activities on behalf of the parish include travel/car expense allowance at a rate consistent with IRS guidelines. Professional expenses include books, professional journals, conferences, meetings, professional lunches and professional memberships. Travel in support of church business should be reimbursed at the IRS mileage rate, which is currently $.54 per mile, last updated on December 17, 215. For IRS tax purposes, it is recommended that parishes adopt this method of business travel and professional expense reimbursement and that the parish provides an adequate budget amount to accommodate documented expense reimbursement requests. A flat allowance to cover these business expenses is not recommended. 53

56 MERIT INCREASES: There is no recommended policy for merit increases. However, consideration for equity and merit adjustments is encouraged for added job responsibilities and a one-time annual bonus might be paid in recognition for work well done. Paid Time Off for All Clergy (Vacation, Holiday, Continuing Education and Sabbatical) Vacation Holiday Sabbatical Cont. Education Full time * 3 month paid 14 paid Holidays / sabbatical option Leave days after 5 years 5 days 3/4 time * 14 paid Holidays / Leave days Negotiable Negotiable 1/2 time * 7 paid Holidays / Leave days Negotiable Negotiable Missional Priest vi * N/A N/A Negotiable * Five weeks, which may include up to 5 Sundays (at the discretion of the clergy). A week is commensurate to the call and as defined in the Letter of Agreement: Full-Time Five weeks Three-Quarter Time Five ¾ time weeks Half-Time Five ½ time weeks Less Half-Time (MP) Five MP weeks, as delineated in LOA TRAVEL EXPENSES Based on a resolution passed by Convention, parishes should provide adequate monies in the budget to reimburse clergy for documented business travel. The IRS business travel reimbursement (currently $.54 per mile) should be the basis for this reimbursement. Clergy are encouraged to have their vestries adopt accountable plans for both of these expenses as directed by the cleric. Every parish should have a resolution concerning travel reimbursement in their permanent records. LEGEND i If in church-owned housing, utilities may be pro-rated based upon full-time equivalent (FTE) rates. In addition to the cash minimum salary above, compensation packages for clergy working half-time or more should include housing and utilities (i.e. church-owned housing or suitable housing allowance for clergy owned or rented housing). 54

57 ii This salary figure represents a.7% increase over the 216 salary schedule. The figures are based on projections using trends and figures available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics through 8/17/216. There is no additional base increase built into the increment. iii Transitional Deacons/Priests first full year rate is for the first year following ordination to the Diaconate. Beyond that first year, the rate used should be under the category of full-time assistant or Priest-in-Charge as appropriate. iv From date of Ordination to the Diaconate: Rather than prorating the increase for the exact date of ordination, it is recommended that the incremental step be paid as of January 1st for the entire calendar year after the year of ordination. The incremental step applies to all clergy except for Transitional Deacons and Priests in their first year of ordination. For example, if someone is ordained to the deaconate in 216, the higher salary rate applies beginning January 1, 217. v The Continuing Education amount for 217 is $1,75. for full-time clergy for continuing education and for a contribution toward the expense of the annual clergy conference. It is not intended as cash compensation but as an offset to actual educational/conference expenses. A week of continuing education time away from the parish is an integral part of this allowance for full-time clergy. vi The Missional Priest (MP) is an active and engaged leader that helps a parish to reimagine and re-engage its vocation to participate in God's mission of restoration and reconciliation in new and life-giving ways. This call is beyond what is historically described as "long term supply" and requires a commitment of time, energy, and talent beyond Sunday services and pastoral care. The MP presides and preaches at Sunday Eucharist and an additional day or two, the amount of time and day(s) to be negotiated between the Vestry and MP, not to be less than 8 hours weekly, and not more than 19. This ministry then is contextual and will vary from one parish to the next (e.g., Sunday plus Wednesday afternoon and evening; or Sunday plus Tuesday morning and Wednesday all day, etc.). Merit Increases: There is no recommended policy for merit increases. However, consideration for equity and merit adjustments is encouraged for added job responsibilities and recognition for work well done beyond the expectations outlined in letters of agreement. 55
