Frequently Asked Questions

How should we classify our staff for tax and employment purposes?

Clergy classification can be tricky. APS provides guidance on W-2 vs. 1099, lay staff vs. ordained ministers, and other nuances, so you get it right the first time.

 

What are the tax implications of providing a housing allowance to clergy members?

A housing allowance can be a significant tax benefit for clergy, but it needs to be set up and documented correctly. We help you structure, document, and track housing allowances correctly, avoiding costly tax missteps while maximizing benefits for your pastoral team.

 

How can we ensure labor law compliance during hiring while honoring our faith-based mission

You can absolutely hire people who support your mission! APS helps you create values-driven job descriptions and compliant hiring processes that reflect your mission while adhering to applicable labor laws.
