How do we know what to pay for a position that is not listed in the Salary Recommendations?

Congregations rely on UUA Salary Recommendations for guidance on setting pay for their staff. We frequently get questions about what to pay for positions that we don't cover in our salary tables. Our general advice is to try to align pay with local norms for similar work and to check that the pay "makes sense" relative to pay for other positions within your team. But we know that sometimes those suggestions are hard to apply, especially for highly specialized and very part-time positions.


While our office can't price out the many types of positions in UU congregations, we want to help you help each other. Our Pay for Nonstandard Positions spreadsheet has been created in order for you to post salaries for your own positions and to check out others.
