Employment Policies & Information

LAUMC is an equal opportunity employer and makes employment decisions on the basis of merit. We want the best available persons in every job. Church policy prohibits unlawful discrimination based on race, color, sex, marital status, age, national origin or ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, sexual orientation or any other consideration made unlawful by federal, state or local laws.

All Los Altos United Methodist Church staff members must:

• be sympathetic with the Christian faith and purposes of the United Methodist Church;
• possess the special aptitudes, skills and capacities that are required in their respective fields of work;
• win and hold the cooperation and good will of the people they serve, as well as their associates;
• maintain and keep confidences;
• demonstrate the capacity to learn and to improve their abilities.

LAUMC offers a medical and dental insurance plan for employees scheduled to work a minimum of 30 hours per week. Eligibility for this coverage begins on the first day of employment. Premiums are currently paid in full for full-time employees. Vacation and sick leave are accrued for hourly employees and salaried employees are "granted" a yearly number of vacation and sick days. A generous holiday schedule is posted each year. Suggestions for improving LAUMC are always welcome. We maintain an "open door" policy and provide steps to follow to express an employee's issues of concern without fear of retaliation.

Employment at LAUMC is "at will," which means that employment may be terminated with or without cause and with or without notice at any time by an employee or by the Church. No supervisor or employee of the Church has any authority to enter into any agreement for employment for any specified period of time or to make any agreement for employment other than at-will.

LAUMC is committed to complying with all applicable laws providing equal employment opportunities. As a non-profit, religious organization, we do not participate in the California Unemployment Insurance Program or the State Disability Program.

We hope each LAUMC employee finds their work here rewarding and challenging. We select our new employees carefully because we believe they play a key role in the success of the Church.
