Common use of Negotiated Resignation Clause in Contracts

Negotiated Resignation. The Board may negotiate the Minister’s resignation. In exchange for a General Release of All Claims signed by the Minister, the Congregation will pay the financial equivalent of the Minister’s unused vacation and continue the Minister’s salary, housing, and the Congregation’s contributions toward the Minister’s insurance benefits, excluding professional expenses, for an additional one month per year of service up to four (4), or until the Minister has begun service in another comparable position, if sooner. The continuation of benefits is subject to the provisions of the various benefit plans. UUA Congregational Life Staff should be consulted early in the process when leave or transition due to conflict or misconduct is possible. A General Release of All Claims means that the Minister surrenders their right to sue or to recover any additional amount from the Congregation. Local legal counsel is advised. Benefits, including Retirement Plan contributions, can continue during an administrative leave. Retirement Plan contributions are not permissible on severance pay. Contact the Office of Church Staff Finances regarding benefits continuation options.
