They were required to maintain Temple Recommends (Member in Good standing, current on Tithes, etc) to be Church Custodians.

No one without a temple recommend is allowed in an LDS Temple, including contractors, janitors, and food service workers. My parents weren’t Temple custodians, just regular meeting house custodians.

But I suppose the exclusion of “janitors” refers to other church-owned enterprises, eg day-care cneters and hospitals.

I’ve only come across it in Germany so far.
