Annual Reviews and New Salaries 

Supervisors & workers, we are so thankful to be partnered in ministry with you. We are excited for the Kingdom work you and your ministry are doing.

Once appreciate the ministry of supervision you provide our missionaries! Once a year, Reliant Missionaries employees and Supervisors supervisors evaluate their jobs and review their performances. After evaluations are completed, the Reliant program team leads work together with Supervisors and/or the church or ministry's compensation teams to set updated salaries for the coming year.

Annual Review

Some significant changes are coming to the Performance Evaluation, now called "Annual Review." The most notable difference is that the Missionary now has a central role in the Annual Review. They will initially complete a Missionary Input tab, which allows them to do a self-assessment on their performance of MTD, Ministry Duties, Ministry Skills, and Character. They will also share their accomplishments over the past year and goals for the following year.

The new Annual Review can be tailored to the job role. Like the previous version, the Missionary will add five to seven of their most significant ministry duties to the Review. However, then they can now select five ministry skills from a list (or add skills, not on the list) that are most necessary for their role and complete a self-assessment on those skills.

The rating scales have also been changed on the new Annual Review to more simplified language. 

After the Missionary completes their portion, they will share it with their Supervisors and/or other leaders who will complete the Annual Review. The Supervisor should review the Missionary Input tab and then fill out the Supervisor Input tab. The Missionary will be able to see what the Supervisor entered in the Annual Review.

Video Tutorials are available for Missionaries and Supervisors to view before starting their portions of the Annual Review.

Missionary Staff Level Updates

The titles and descriptions for Missionary Staff Levels have been updated for 2022. The new levels align closely with the previous levels, but the descriptions focus more on the responsibilities and experience required for the role. The transition to the new staff levels will occur over the next several months.

Missionary Staff Level Transition

The staff level for U.S.-based, career missionaries will automatically convert from the current levels to the new level names:

The salary ranges will also transfer over. (E.g., Missionary Staff 2 range will be the same as the Level 2 range for 2022.)

Supervisors, as part of the Annual Review, you will be asked if you would like to update the Staff Level for the Missionary. Please make sure that you take some time to review the new Missionary Staff Levels and follow the instructions on the Annual Review for notifying Reliant that you'd like to make a change. Please get in touch with your Program Team (What Program Team Am I On?) if you have any questions.

Job Description Template

If you or the person you supervise does not have an updated Job Description that has been shared with Reliant, please go to Job Descriptions to create and submit a new one. While In addition, Reliant will be transitioning to a new process to maintain Job Descriptions for all Missionaries and Associates. You can find more details about the transition here Job Descriptions. While it is not mandatory to update your Job Description during the Annual Review season, it may make sense to do it now as you will be asked to refer to your Job Description as part of the Missionary Employee Input stage of the Annual Review.
