Sort of, yeah. The pastors in this group operate on one-year (usually renewed) contracts where negotiated total compensation has a lot of moving parts -- base pay, health and disability insurance, pension contributions and housing allowances chief among them. There's a lot of wiggle room. So for now, we could negotiate higher base pay (and no health insurance) while I have Megacorp health insurance, but if I lost that we could then negotiate the next contract with lower base pay and group health benefits through the church. As far as I can tell, pension contributions of 6-12% of base pay through the churchwide pension plan is fairly standard.
But it is going to serious muck with our taxes. Taxes for the clergy are often quite complicated. Even though they are ordained by the churchwide body, "employed" by a congregation and receive benefits in most cases, they are self-employed for tax purposes and have a lot of unusual requirements and exemptions in tax law.
But first, more hoops over the next 2-3 months....
