Details: Those employees voluntarily terminating their employment must send written notification to Missionary Resources at hr@reliant.org. This notification should state the resignation date and the reason(s) for leaving employment.

Details: The process for exiting can take 30-60 days. It is important to notify Missionary Resources as soon as possible even if plans are tentative. Notifications after the 1st of the month when employment will end are considered late notifications.

Details: Missionaries who have developed a team of financial partners for Reliant must write an exit prayer letter for distribution to those partners. The exit prayer letter explains the decision to leave Reliant employment and must be sent to Missionary Resources for approval at least 14 days or more before the resignation date. Questions about writing the exit prayer letter may be directed toward your supervisor or Missionary Resources. In event that termination is involuntary and the amount of time to the last day of employment is less than 14 days, then the employee must submit an exit prayer letter to Missionary Resources within the time limit set by Missionary Resources. After receiving approval, the exiting employee must send the letter to all ministry donors before the resignation date. Even if ministry donors are to be contacted by phone, an exit prayer letter must be sent to them. A copy must also be sent to Missionary Resources.

Ask financial partners to continue giving to Reliant

Details: Click on Mike's Availability to sign up for a time for an exit interview with Mike Swann, Missionary Resources Director. In the event that termination is involuntary, Missionary Resources will generally initiate an interview with the exiting employee. Exit interviews may be conducted via the phone or in person, depending upon the location of the employee. Interviews usually last 30-45 minutes.

Details: Some exiting missionaries may have incurred back pay (i.e., outstanding salary) during their employment. Also some exiting missionaries may have incurred ministry expenses while employed by Reliant and not received reimbursement for them prior to their resignation. Reliant will generally accept requests for reimbursement of ministry expenses for a limited period of time after the resignation date. The specific time period is at the end of the second month following last day of employment. If applicable, financial partners may be informed by the exiting employee in the exit prayer letter that some contributions may be used, among other things, to pay outstanding salary and/or expenses to the terminating employee. Reimbursement forms must be submitted by employees to the Finance Department in order for these requests to be considered by Reliant.

Details: Employees who are covered by the Reliant group health plan may be eligible under certain conditions for continuation of certain health insurance benefits following termination of Reliant employment. Continuation of coverage generally allows certain qualified beneficiaries to continue temporary access to affordable health insurance in situations where they would otherwise lose their employer-provided coverage. For more information regarding continuation of coverage, please contact Missionary Resources.

Details: Employees who have an automatic deposit agreement must notify Reliant if their bank account changes or will change before they receive their final paycheck.

Details: If an employee believes that there may be an account balance remaining in the MTD fund for which they are responsible after their final Reliant paycheck and ministry expenses are all paid out, they may submit an Exiting Missionary Transfer Request Form. Requests can either be done as a dollar amount or a percentage of available funds. Exiting transfers are subject to Reliant's MTD Fund Transfer Policy (limiting one transfer request per calendar year). The maximum transfer amount is $5,000 and can be made up of transfers to both MTD accounts and Departments. However, transfers cannot exceed $3,000 in total for MTD account to MTD account transfers.
