The Diocese of New York recommends the following minimum compensation guidelines for Sunday supply priests: 1 regular service - $165.00 plus travel; 2 regular services - $235.00 plus travel. A regular service includes Holy Eucharist with Sermon OR Morning Prayer with Sermon. Travel includes all public transportation fares (with receipts) OR mileage at the standard IRS mileage allowance ($0.51 in 2011).
Statement of Pension assessment: "If supply clergy, who are active (that is, not retired and drawing pension benefits), earn $200 or more per month in salary and/or housing from the same congregation for three or more consecutive months, an assessment of 18% to the Church Pension Fund is mandated, retroactive to the first month."
