Paying Staff Based On Attendance
Mark Oestericher posted this one...
A pastor said to me that he loves to try new things. and the thing he’s trying right now that he thinks is such a good idea? [drum roll, please — and brace yourself] He’s paying his staff based on how many people, on average, attend the ministries they are in charge of. He grinned as he told me that, for example, one of the pastors has a fairly low monthly salary, because he’s new and his particular ministry is average-sized; but if the ministry reaches x-amount on average, his pay will bump to another level, and at xx-amount, to another level, which is a great salary for their area. He said it’s a great system because it builds self-motivation in automatically.
He waited for my response.
For reasons I won’t go into, it wasn’t the appropriate time for me to begin vomiting on his church carpet, or pummeling him in front of his church-folk. So I grinned an extremely uncomfortable grin and mumbled something like, “Well, i don’t know….”
