It is divided into three major sections: Overview of Employment Law Hiring Process Human Resources Policies It is a valuable resource on the recruitment, interviewing, hiring, supervision, management and termination of lay employees and a reference and checklist for congregations that want to develop their own personnel policies. This updated Edition discusses the 2004 Department of Labor rules on exempt and non-exempt employees and discusses "employment at will" in the context of the Church's General Convention Resolutions on that topic. All General Convention Resolutions affecting lay employees are reprinted in full including those adopted since the First Edition was published in 2001.
