Unknown User (kate.pendola@reliant.org) - before our MR Collaboration meeting on Wednesday, can you change the orientation of this chart so the employment types are at the top (row) and the benefits headings are on the side (column)?
Unknown User (kate.pendola@reliant.org)
Unknown User (kate.pendola@reliant.org) - add collapsable headings for each specific missionary type & hours to the top of this page. Keep the full benefits chart at the bottom, so people can compare/contrast benefits for various missionary type/hours categories.
Unknown User (ed.courtney@reliant.org)
Kerry Housley I think this page would go better in the New Partner section once it's launched because it applies to people who are new to Reliant, not to current missionaries. Thoughts?
Kerry Housley
I agree. It seems like the same idea as some of the benefits information on the resources section of the hub - but much more thorough and extensive. Great work on this ladies and gent!
Unknown User (ed.courtney@reliant.org)
Just let Kate/Keva know if/when you move it so they can update the link in the Hub.
Kerry Housley
I could also do a page include in the New Partners section - if that's better? I guess we can cross that bridge when we come to it because Keva & I haven't had or meeting yet where we're talking through all these things (how the Hub interacts with New Partners space on Solomon, etc).
Keva Ambre
Hey guys, just catching up to this convo. This page was actually built for new missionaries. They will be linked to this benefits info within their offer letter.
For the sake of Solomon, I don't care where you put it, as long as it's in an area of the field manual that's not hidden to the outside world.
Unknown User (ed.courtney@reliant.org)
Barb Seckler Tonya Bartels This page is a link that new missionaries can access when they are accepting their offers of employment. I updated with our new intern/resident tracks. I think the info is good, but if you can look it over, that would be great.
Barb Seckler
Tonya Bartels Unknown User (ed.courtney@reliant.org) - looks good to me but I'm not sure about the 5-12 month interns not receiving Group Term Life & Long-Term Disability. Tonya Bartels you may be more familiar with that policy?
Tonya Bartels
Barb Seckler Can you email me a list of who they are? If they are short term that extended they would not be eligible until they hit a year. I did not process very many of the interns this year, Emmanuel processed the insurance portions so it is possible that some just got missed but I will have to look them up to be able to give you answers.
Unknown User (ed.courtney@reliant.org)
Tonya Bartels This page is for people when they are accepting their offer with Reliant. It gives them an idea of what benefits to expect. I think Barb was saying she's unsure of whether our 5-12 month interns are covered under Group Term Life and Long-Term Disability
Tonya Bartels
Unknown User (ed.courtney@reliant.org) Ahhh...chalk it up to the fever.
Tonya Bartels
Barb Seckler take two...they are usually not eligible until they hit the year mark.
Barb Seckler
Thanks for clarifying Tonya Bartels - yes that was my question. Question answered. Thumbs up Unknown User (ed.courtney@reliant.org) - I believe this is accurate.
Mike Swann
Not to throw a wrench into it, but I thought that anyone we at least offered Medical Insurance to (5+ months) was offered GTL and LTD. Could be wrong about that.
Also, what would we do with the 2 year interns? Are they eligible from the start?
What about someone who starts as a 1 year intern and then adds a second year?
Tonya Bartels
Mike Swann we have not been enrolling 5+ months into GTL and LTD. Honestly we don't have very many missionaries that fall into this category, those that do are usually extending their summer internships. If they are a year or more they are enrolled from the start if they are PT30 or above, including the 2 year residents. If they were a 1 year they would have already been enrolled. The part we have to be aware of and watch is when a 1 year changes to a 2 year and they waived medical, they can't waive for any reason at that point.
Mike Swann
Okay, so Unknown User (ed.courtney@reliant.org), this is where is gets tricky. Tonya Bartels, Barb Seckler and/or user-1a794 please confirm
5 months - 11 months (Would include Grace 9 month interns):
12 months exactly:
Anything over 12 months:
Am I correct on this?
Tonya Bartels
Mike Swann I thought the category was 5 to 9 months, and then 9-12, at least on the waiver it says 9 to 12 months can waive for any reason. The Grace 9 month interns have LTD and GTL.
Mike Swann
Okay... so... let's see if this is right. If I am reading it correctly, I don't think we need any additional categories and this could clean things up
4 months or less:
5 months - 12 months (Would include Grace 9 month interns):
Anything over 12 months:
Beka Cashmer
Hey, everyone (Kerry Housley, Barb Seckler, CJ White Joshua Dull Mike Swann Mike Easton Jon Crawford ) - this page is a great resource for many reasons. Specifically, we reference this page when we send offer letters. We have changed our offer letter language to "employment type" rather than "missionary type." I wanted to start a conversation here to see how other program teams are addressing this and make sure this page reflects all program teams' language. My initial thought was to swap out "missionary" for "employment" when referencing categories and something else when referencing the individual (e.g. "goer"). Any thoughts?
Julie Thompson
The international team doesn't reference this much, but I can see how it would be helpful when there are a lot of different categories within a program. Sometimes we refer to our international people as Goers, but I don't think that term fits across the board and something like "worker" is probably better overall.

Kerry Housley So I have a proposal that I want to bring to Ops that probably won't happen until January that is related to this topic, I am guessing that is why you tagged me
. Introducing "employment classes." I don't want to muddy the waters based on the intent of Beka Cashmer's inquiry, but I have thoughts and ideas that I would like to talk through. Also, it would be good for where we land to be connected to what we use for data entry so that my team knows what to do with the information we receive. I know that they are in the process of configuring Dynamics, and it would be good to have it set up the way we want/need it to be.
Caleb Hayworth
I second "worker" too, especially since we'll be using it more at corporately.
Beka Cashmer
Tonya Bartels Kerry Housley- that makes sense. I'm not going to make any updates to this page now. Please know that we do provide this page as a resource when we send offer letters. Our offer letter references "employment type" to point residents to what type of "intern" level/benefits to look at. We (FT team) feel confident that residents will not be confused with how it reads now, so we're fine waiting to make any changes. So good to get feedback about using "worker" when referencing the individual as well. Thanks, everyone!
Mike Swann
Caleb Hayworth - see Beka's note above
Beka Cashmer
Barb Seckler Kerry Housley This page references 401k. We share this at time of offer so folks can prepare and know their eligible benefits. Would we be able to update this page or (for now) put a warning box at the top that explains this page includes outdated retirement information and to go to XX page for current 403(b)(9) benefit details?
