In this episode of the Healthy Church Staff Podcast, host Todd Rhoades addresses the common issue of part-time church staff being given full-time responsibilities. He highlights the disconnect between paid hours and actual work expectations and suggests ways to realign these to prevent burnout and frustration. • Part-time staff often face full-time expectations without additional compensation. • Churches must clearly list and assess the expectations of part-time roles. • Increasing compensation or reducing expectations are necessary adjustments. • Clear expectations lead to better performance and prevent burnout. • A call to action for leaders to honestly evaluate staff hours and pay.
