I ran across this very helpful video from the IRS concerning the Do's and Don'ts of a 501(c)(3) organization, particular to churches and religious organizations. It covered a lot of territory, but I found it very helpful for anyone with questions about what a church/RO can and cannot do pertaining to inurement of income or assets to an insider, lobbying, political campaigning, UBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax), minister's housing, and much more.
It may not answer your particular questions, but it pointed you to the publication that would help you. It didn't answer the question I was looking for, but it was interesting enough that I listened (and followed along with the PDF transcript provided) to the full 50 minutes.
You can find this video at: http://www.irsvideos.gov/ChurchesReligiousOrganizations/
I hope this is helpful to you.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.
Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
