New staff members – The offer and process
Can’t find what you are looking for in this post? Please visit forum and let’s chat!
What is the process that needs to happen before a new employee is appointed?
The pastor of the congregation wanting to appoint a new employee will need to seek approval, by sending an email to HR@shofaronline.org with the name, intended position, intended starting date and working hours as well as the proposed salary amount.
The Finance team will then seek the needed approval, and once final approval has been obtained, they will provide an offer of employment to the new employee to be signed.
Please note that the applicant may only be contacted once the application is approved.
Once a signed Offer of Employment is returned, with a completed Shofar Employee Information form (sent as part of the offer of employment). The Employee will be loaded on the Payroll system, as well as receive a Shofar online shop account, a Shofar email address, receive the necessary rights on CCB, loaded on the correct office groups etc. This is an automated process.
What if I want to make adjustments to an employee’s salary, due to changing conditions, e.g. the employee is taking on more responsibility?
All changes must be submitted before the 20th of each month, by sending an email to finance@shofaronline.org. The Shofar Finance Team will then issue a Salary Adjustment Letter, after the needed approval has been obtained.
Please take note that no salary commitment may be made to any employee, before the necessary approvals have been obtained and the adjustment letter was issued.
