Lay Employment

Lay Employment Advice from Lay Employment Group Convenor: Mrs Sandy Coates.

This advice is extracted from 2010 Briefing Paper, written to help with some basic issues and to point in the right direction for others.

The term Lay Worker is no longer to be used – please refer to Lay Employees.

Generally the word ‘stipend’ is used in connection with an Ordained Minister’s/Deacons’s pay.  It should not be used in the context of Lay Employees, even if they are doing pastoral work and are considered to be employed in the role of a ‘Minister’.
