The 2020 Annual Report of the Personnel Committee ~ Cam Richardson, chair

The Personnel Committee is responsible for matters pertaining to the compensation, care and welfare of the staff.
PC serves as the grievance committee to resolve personnel disputes between employees and the Head of Staff/Pastor, maintains and updates the Church personnel policy manual, and makes recommendations to Session regarding the hiring of staff.
The PC's work this past year has revolved largely around supporting the Staff as SCPC made a hard-pivot from offering in-person programming to remote programming.
Specific actions in 2020 include:
Members of the Personnel Committee: Pastor Dean Lindsey, Elders Barbara Cox, Karen Christman, Peter Moyer, Cameron Richardson (Chair), Jennifer Creighton (Deacon).
A heartfelt thank you to the Staff for their dedication and time throughout this incredibly trying year. God is good!

Specific actions in 2020 include:
- Supported Staff through Dean’s sabbatical (attendance at weekly meetings)
- Providing a small gift of thanks and appreciation to Staff for their grace and flexibility through the Pandemic
- Work on a proposal to transition the Associate in College-Age and Young Adult Ministries from a staff to an pastoral position (e.g., Speaking with Board of Pensions about Pathways to Renewal Program, Identifying members of a Pastoral Nominating Committee, Communicating with Huntingdon Presbytery's Committee on Ministry)
- Adjusting positions, work hours, and work space for staff whose work hours and processes were differentially affected by the pandemic (periodic communication/consultation with staff about these transitions)
- Evaluating means of supporting staff through the Pandemic (e.g., Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Program, Social Security Tax Deferral Program)
- Addition of a video production contracted position and funding for supporting Sunday services
- Providing staff with a temporary disability plan at no cost to SCPC through the Board of Pensions
- Preliminary investigation into clarifications needed to the Personnel Policy manual
