| | A. | The pastor is the one who hires and supervises parish personnel. The only role the council plays in personnel issues are to:
- Determine what positions are needed for parish ministry
- Review and recommend salary and benefit packages as proposed by the finance committee
- Review and recommend parish policies regarding staff rights and responsibilities (staff handbook) as prepared by the personnel committee.
The parish personnel committee (a sub-committee of Finance and Administrative Services) assists the pastor in developing job descriptions and, if invited by the pastor, participate in the interview process.
If a council member has a concern about a particular staff member, s/he should discuss the matter privately with the individual involved, or with the pastor. If the pastor determines that it is a council issue, he may bring it to the council for advice.
