General policyOn occasion, an employee may find that personal, health, or family situations make it necessary to be absent from work. Reliant desires to support its employees in times of stress and, if possible, accommodate needs that can arise unexpectedly. Leaves of absence for limited periods of time will be permitted, in Reliant's sole discretion, depending on the reasons and circumstances that prompt such a request. Such a leave of absence must be supported by valid reasons and approved by both the local supervisor and the Reliant office. Leaves of absence are normally granted only for the reasons specified below.

The death of a family member, close friend, or ministry supporter is a tragedy. In some cases, it is also an opportunity to comfort and minister to other people involved as well as to be comforted. Reliant recognizes that the death of an immediate family member can have a significant impact on an employee and that the grieving process is important. In the event of an immediate family member's death, such as spouse, child (including pregnancy loss), or parent, several days may be needed to prepare for a return to the workplace. In other cases, attending the funeral of a relative or friend that does not involve long travel may take less than a day. Therefore, Reliant gives the supervisor and employee reasonable flexibility in determining the time needed away from work in the event of a death. An employee may take up to five days of paid leave for bereavement, if necessary. However, in extreme cases, additional leave may be taken as PTO or as an unpaid leave of absence. Specific permission for additional time off beyond the five days must be received from the supervisor and communicated to their Program Team. Employees should notify their supervisor as soon as possible in advance of any absence when they desire to invoke leave for bereavement purposes. |

Reliant will grant military leave as necessary in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations. Employees taking part in a variety of military duties are covered under this policy. Such military duties include leaves of absence taken by members of the uniformed services, including active duty, reserve or National Guard, for training, periods of active military service, and funeral honors duty, as well as time spent being examined to determine fitness to perform such service. Unless military necessity prevents it, or is otherwise impossible or unreasonable, employees should provide their supervisor with notice of the need for short-term leave (fewer than seven consecutive days) as far in advance as is reasonable under the circumstances. For a longer leave period of consecutive days or more, employees should provide their Program Team with written notice of leave as far in advance as is reasonable. See below for the policies on pay and PTO depending on the length of leave. The lengths are defined by the number of consecutive days:
For military leave of 7 to 30 days, employees will need to submit their Military Leave and Earnings Statement to their Program Team in order to calculate supplemental pay. |
