An individual was employed as a church custodian for a fixed salary of $30,000 per year. This salary was payment for a normal 40 hour work week. The custodian was responsible for cleaning and maintaining the church and church property. The church also had a grade school that they operated. The grade school was separated from the church, but the church employed all the teachers and staff in the school. The school was looking for a part-time janitor. The school wanted to pay the janitor $9.00 per hour for five (5) hours of work each school day evening.
The church custodian applied for, and was given the job as the part-time janitor for the school. He was to continue his day job as the custodian for the church.
