Safety Tips for Ministries from Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company for February 2010
Take an Employment Practices Refresher
Does your ministry have someone on staff that tracks employment-related paperwork and issues? Sound employment practices can help your ministry run smoothly and reduce the likelihood that an employment-related lawsuit will be filed. Brotherhood Mutual Insurance Company has created a checklist that can help your ministry take a closer look at issues associated with employment practices. Some areas that the checklist delves into include:
- Knowledge of employment laws in your state
- Investment in thorough background checks for all employees
- Documentation of performance, annual reviews, and any disciplinary action taken for each employee
The employment practices checklist and other employment-related resources are available at http://www.SafetyCentralOnline.com, Brotherhood Mutual’s online library of free safety and risk management materials for ministries. Contact your insurance agent if you have specific questions regarding employment practices.
