Three Factors to Consider When Hiring a Church Car Service
When hiring a church car service, there are a few things to consider. These three factors are the employees, costs, and rates. Knowing these three factors will help you make the best decision for your organization. Also, make sure you find out how long the church has been in operation. Then, you can evaluate the employee’s qualifications and experience.
Costs
When it comes to church car services, you have to pay attention to the cost. Church car expenses can range from several hundred dollars to thousands of dollars. Usually, church car services are free, but some churches require a membership in order to benefit. These expenses are tax-deductible. For example, a church that does a lot of ministry in the community can deduct up to $8,000 per year for car service costs.
Employees
The Church car service is owned by two separate companies and individuals. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of not paying their employees overtime and minimum wage. The four named plaintiffs all worked over 40 hours a week for the Church, but were paid only on an hourly basis or per shift. The wages were not sufficient to meet the state and federal minimum wage requirements, and the defendants did not include time and a half overtime pay. They also allege that the paystubs were improperly adjusted to reflect the actual hours worked.
Church car service employees may be subject to double taxation because they use the church vehicle for personal purposes. However, proper documentation is essential to avoid double taxation. Generally, the value of a church-owned car is 100% taxable to the employee, so the proper documentation is essential.
