Webinar - Ministerial Exception - 11/13/24

A continuing and sometimes vexing issue for Church personnel administrators is when, where and how to implement the so-called “ministerial exemption”.

What are some best practices to identify those ministerial positions?  How are the Church’s expectations communicated? What happens if there is a dispute?
