Rethinking UUA Salary Recommendations:
How Do You Use Our Resources?
Last month we shared our goals around revising the UUA Salary Recommendations with the
intentions of advancing equity, improving practicality, and leading with integrity. An important part of our revision process is gaining an understanding of how congregational leaders are making use of our current salary resources.
Please Complete a Short Questionnaire
Do you play a role in determining salaries for any employees of your congregation? If so, please take this short questionnaire to help us understand how our salary-related resources fit into your congregation’s decision-making processes.
We know that there are usually multiple parties involved in setting salaries. It is perfectly fine for us to hear from more than one leader in your congregation. In fact, we expect to! Please share the questionnaire with others involved. We're seeking as broad a take as possible on how resources are currently used by supervisors, by personnel and finance leaders, by board members – by anyone who has anything to do with the process.
Thank you for participating! To simply select the best answer to each of the 8 questions should take no more than 5 minutes. (Can you do it right now?) We've provided comment boxes for each question and are grateful for anything you'd like to tell us. We plan to share key learnings from the questionnaire in next month's newsletter.
Coming in May: Compensation and Staffing Survey
Collecting information about actual compensation from congregations has been a longtime desire of our team and we're excited to share that a Compensation and Staffing Survey will be released next month. Stay tuned!
Your information is incredibly valuable to the process of developing equitable and practical recommendations, and we will make a survey summary available to participating congregations. We are eager to hear from you, to learn from you, and to partner with you in this process.
For now, thank you for completing our Salary Resources Questionnaire.
