I run a 14-person service company and want a Christ-centered policy for fair pay, honest sourcing, and setting aside 10% of net profit for giving — something staff can sign and we can audit quarterly. Does anyone have a simple template or example (PDF/one-pager) you’ve used, or a book that lays this out plainly?
Here’s what worked for us: a one-page “Stewardship Covenant” with three sections — fair pay, honest sourcing, and a 10% net‑profit tithe — each with 2–3 simple promises, a signature line, and a quarterly audit checklist; think of it as a company rule of life. We framed it under Micah 6:8 (“act justly, love mercy, walk humbly”) and pulled ideas from Practicing the King’s Economy. Want my PDF to adapt, or do you prefer a short Google Doc?
And i’d build on @michael7935’s covenant and add a one-page quarterly audit sheet with three checks: pay bands posted and ≤3:1 median-to-entry ratio, supplier attestations on file, and an automatic 10% net‑profit transfer into a separate giving account when books close; open it with, “We steward God’s resources for employees, suppliers, and neighbors under Christ.” If net swings a lot, average the tithe over the last four quarters; the Praxis Redemptive Playbook has helpful wording: https://www.praxislabs.org/redemptive-playbook. Would you want staff to see the ratios each quarter?
