New England Annual Conference
Pastor’s Certification of Payment by the Local Church
It is the responsibility of the localchurch to provide a minimum compensation for its appointed clergy (¶624). To assure each appointed pastor receives full compensation, the following certification is required from each pastor each year, in compliance with the Arrearage Policy of the New England Annual Conference. This certification is to be signed by the pastor, the Chairperson of S/PPRC, and the Treasurer after the final end-of-year check has been paid to the pastor reflecting a full year’s compensation has been paid, or after the final mid-year check has been paid to the pastor reflecting 50% of the full year’s compensation has been paid when a pastoral appointment change takes place at the Conference Year, or when pastoral compensation has been reduced at the Conference Year (July 1).
Once an appointment ends the Pastor no longer has claim on the local church for compensation funds (¶342.4). After an appointment ends, the pastor has a claim against the Annual Conference. A pastor’s arrearage claim against the Annual Conference establishes a claim by the Annual Conference against the local church, and the local church shall pay the Annual Conference the full amount paid by the Annual Conference to the pastor.
Please complete a separate form for each church served during the calendar year.
