Yeshivos have every responsibility to pay their staff on time, and the boards and administrators have a responsibility to make sure that enough cash is in the bank.
That said, there often simply isn’t sufficient funding to go around. This isn’t an excuse, and it isn’t a hetter for delaying payments. There is no easy solution, but a solution must be found. Facing this pressure, some will feel forced to compromise on something – on legalities, on hallacha, on something. The pressure is very real.
It is unacceptable when our rabbeim or moros are expected to make shabbos and yom tov, to pay tuition and rent, when they are not paid in full and on time. It is our responsibility as a community to make sure that we pay our tuition on time, and that the mosdos chinuch we support are paying their staff on time.
