Webinars

This will be the first of a series of webinars this summer where we will address the broad topic of employee compensation for churches and ministries. Joining us will be Caleb Stewart from Oseran Hahn, attorneys at law, who will be available to answer specific questions from our guests. In our webinar from February 2023, Caleb covered salary and overtime rules for churches and ministries. In this webinar series, we will circle back and go deeper on that topic plus add other employee compensation topics, including: 

• Salary exemptions – what are the laws for FLSA (federal) and Washington Minimum Wage Act
• Overtime for ministers and staff
• Stipends for staff and ministers
• Who must be paid overtime when working more than 40 hours per week
• The difference between an “exempt” employee and a “non-exempt” employee
• How to compute salary thresholds for determining exempt employees
• How teachers and other school employees are treated for minimum wage and overtime rules
• How minimum wage and overtime rules apply to seasonal workers and interns
• How non-exempt employees are compensated during travel time, camps and retreats
• Salary rules for part-time employees
• Rules for tracking hours worked for salaried and part-time employees
