Continuing Education: Ministry Related
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
This Continuing Education policy is currently under review by Reliant to determine if we can more broadly reimburse continuing education classes for missionaries of all employment levels. Details for the revised policy will be available on Solomon when these revisions are finalized. |
Reliant seeks to provide reasonable opportunities for eligible employees to participate in certain elective educational opportunities that are closely related to the employee’s ministry with Reliant. Some Reliant partner churches may also require participation in educational activities. Reliant will reimburse eligible employees for certain expenses of approved ministry related education, subject to certain limitations and conditions established by Reliant (see Accountable Reimbursement Plan for general guidelines and policies for reimbursements), up to a maximum of $5,250 per calendar year. (Employees should consult with their tax adviser regarding proper tax treatment and reporting of such reimbursement.)

Elective Education: Non-Ministry Related
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
This Continuing Education policy is currently under review by Reliant to determine if we can more broadly reimburse non-ministry related continuing education classes for missionaries, in scenario where the classes taken are along a career path that is tied to field such as medical, education, etc. in which the missionary's future career would enable them to continue to serve/minister while performing the duties of their new profession. Details for the revised policy will be available on Solomon when these revisions are finalized. |
Education that is determined by Reliant to not develop or improve the ministry capabilities of an employee will be considered personal education. Such education must be taken on the employee’s personal time and must not interfere with accomplishing work duties. Such education is not eligible for reimbursement. Reliant reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make the determination of whether an educational event is ministry or non-ministry related.
