Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted August 4, 2006 Members Share Posted August 4, 2006 The following quote from a past Loma Linda news blurb cites the extra benefits for employees' children. </font><blockquote><font class="small">Quote:</font><hr /> Salaried University employees have the added benefit of tuition assistance for their children. If their children are attending a Seventh-day Adventist elementary school or academy, the University will pay 35 percent of the tuition fees. For children living in the dormitory at an Adventist college, the University pays 70 percent of tuition -- 35 percent tuition if they are day students. <hr /></blockquote><font class="post"> http://www.llu.edu/news/today/may0400/misc.htm What I am wondering is, do the children of pastors and other denominational workers aside from university employees get extra benefits for their children's schooling as well? just wondering... BTW, I realize that some other private universities have tuition cuts for children of their employees - and it's not just an Adventist *thing*..

Administrators Gail Posted August 4, 2006 Administrators Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yes, some conference workers get a similar benefit as well, and I do understand that some universities do it, too. When my son was attending the local Christian university, my girlfriend told me that I should get a job there, as the tuition for my son would be free.

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted August 4, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yes, they get aprox. such benefits, if they are paid by the denomination. Quote Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Here at WWC unless you are on salary you get no help with tuition. SO as of now Paul and I get no help cause they wont put him on salary.

cricket Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Sometimes, in the secular world, anyway, it is better to not be on salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand why a full time hourly-paid worker wouldn't receive the same benefits as a salaried worker.

Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted August 5, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 5, 2006 To clarify my previous comment: 1) Probably 99 5 of the ministers are paid by the denomination, and in a category where they receive such benefits. But, that leaves a few who either are not paid by the denomination, or are in a category where they do not get such benefits. 2) As to other workers, there are some people working for the Church (typically considered to be local church employees) who are not considered to be denominational employees, and do not get such.

Dr. Shane Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 I had a friend once that went from being a house painter to being a kitchen worker for a Lutheran university because as a university employee of the university his girls would get a major cut in their tuition.

Barbara Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 It use to be the same but then there was a decision to change it. Quote .....Love others as well as you love yourself. Matt 22:39 (The Message Bible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
