The Hybrid Report application is a major advancement in ChurchSalary 3.0, and helps church leaders address the unique challenge of compensating staff who serve in multiple roles. Is your Worship Pastor also your bookeeper? Or maybe your Youth Pastor doubles as your Media Director. Hybrid Reports help to model all of these complex situations to make sure you are thinking accurately about how to compensate these jacks of all trades.
Important note: The Hybrid Report application is only available to members subscribed to the Expanded tier or higher. Learn more about the subscription tiers here!
Introduction & Helpful Features 📖
The Hybrid Report combines compensation data from multiple roles into a single, comprehensive salary report, allowing for more nuanced and realistic compensation modeling.
When creating an Employee Profile, you can assign up to three distinct position types to a single employee and specify the mix percentage (weight) for each role, ensuring the total equals 100%.
Example: An “Associate Worship & Children’s Pastor” might be assigned weights such as 50% Associate Pastor, 30% Worship Pastor, and 20% Children’s Pastor.
This capability enables Expanded members to generate up to 5,832 hybrid report variations with infinite weight combinations.
The application includes up to four tabs, allowing you to toggle between the composite Hybrid Report and standalone reports for each of the constituent positions. But when downloaded, all selected reports are compiled into a single PDF document representing this employee and their hybrid role.
How is the Data calculated? 📊
Hybrid Reports use weighted calculations to produce accurate and realistic salary insights. The system applies your percentage weights to the employee data for each role you've selected in order to generate both weighted percentiles and weighted averages for your hybrid employees.
While most report sections remain the same, certain sections will be omitted (e.g., Employment Profile, Benefits, and Comparable Jobs) from these reports, since they do not apply to these hybrid roles.
How to generate a Hybrid Report 📋
First, you'll need to create an Employee Profile with multiple roles. General instructions are in the linked article, but when setting the Role, make sure to click + Hybrid position to add job categories. Then simply choose the categories and the percentage weight that should be applied to each, based on how much time the employee spends on each role.
Note that the maximum number of job categories you can select for a single employee is 3.
Once you have your Employee Profile created for your hybrid employee, return to the Dashboard, select the correct employee and click Hybrid Report.
Note that if you click Edit Criteria you can make edits to your employee and their positions and percentages. This does not apply the changes to the base Employee Profile, but simply makes the adjustments for the sake of running this single report.
Remember, your position mix percentages must total up to 100%!
Up to four reports will be generated for your hybrid employee—one for the blended role and others for each individual position. You can toggle between them using the tabs at the top of the report in order to compare pay side by side.
When you click Download & Save Report, all available reports will download together in one PDF. This process may take some time, since the system is generating and downloading multiple reports at the same time.
