Currently, backpay is paid on a separate paycheck. The email for the backpay paystub comes in a separate email a few days after the original paycheck email, but both checks are still deposited at the bank on the 15th of each month. (See also Pay Stubs.) See also Exiting - Final Paycheck related to final backpay checks.

Back Pay BackPay 

When an employee does not have sufficient funds in the account for which he or she is responsible to receive a full paycheck, the employee incurs a "shortcheck" for the earnings that were not able to be paid. Short checked earnings are accrued and tracked by Reliant as "backpay" that an employee is eligible to receive in the event that he or she has excess funds in the account for which he or she is responsible in a pay period, after Reliant fully pays the current month's wages and payroll expenses. Reliant will generally compensate employees for back pay which has been acquired within the current year and past two years, subject to an employee fulfilling his or her obligation to raise the required amount of support for Reliant. See Toolbox for instructions on how to view backpay amounts.

• Primary backpay is paid (see Order of Pay) when there are sufficent funds after covering the employee benefits, direct charges to the MTD fund, primary's normal paycheck as well as their spouse's full paycheck in a dually employed situation.
• Spouse backpay is paid when there are sufficient funds after covering the employee benefits, direct charges to the MTD fund, primary's normal paycheck, the spouse's full paycheck, and the primary's entire remaining accumulated backpay.
• There is also an order of pay for backpay payments. Reliant pays the oldest tracked backpay (by year) first since there is a limited time of eligiblity. Accumulated backpay for both primary and spouse does expire and become ineligible to receive after the alloted time has passed.

Paystubs:

It will show up as SHORT CHECK on your original paystub to give you a total of how much you have been shorted on this check or year to date.

Then, you will receive any eligible backpay back pay (assuming you have available funds) on a separate paystub and that will show up as:

• Back Pay Current Year (backpay accumulated this year)
• Back Pay Last Year (backpay accumulated in the previous year)
• Back Pay 2nd Year (backpay accumulated 2 years ago)

The system will pay the oldest year of accumulated backpay first in the order of eligiblity of payment. Once the backpay that accumulated 2 years ago reaches the end of December of that year without being paid, it is no longer eligible to receive and will be removed from the system. 

Back Parsonage

In the case of a Reliant commissioned/ordained minister or pastor who does not have sufficient funds in the account for which he or she is responsible to receive his or her approved parsonage, "back parsonage" is not available. Instead of issuing a short check for the parsonage and creating "back parsonage," Reliant will reduce the parsonage amount to the maximum amount that is available to be paid.   The short checked amount becomes "backpay" which is a taxable earning (the shorted parsonage is no longer eligible to be a pre-tax benefit when it becomes backpay) just like any other backpay the employee may incur. This backpay will be eligible for payment based on the standard backpay payment procedure detailed above.   If If the commissioned minister/pastor is also a 403(b) participant (not including Roth participants) or has pre-tax benefits or deductions (for example Cafeteria Plan items - vision insurance, childcare deductions, HSA contributions) Reliant will also reclassify a portion of the employee's parsonage as "taxable" earnings which would then be converted to "nontaxable" earnings by the 403(b) contributions or other pre-tax benefits and deductions.
