Negotiating pastor's benefits, leaves

[Guest Marilyn McClellan]

I am chairman of an Ad Hoc committee of our churh seeking information on how to write a leaves policy for our minister. Currently we have no leave of absence policy. Our minister recently had a medical emergency and was unable to perform his pastoral duties between March 15 and May 7, 2000. Our Board of Trustees has appointed me to investigate how to write a leave of absence policy. I'd appreciate help from any church denomination on this topic. Thank you!
