   • Click here for list of state health department websites and here for directory of local health departments
   • Check for quarantine travel advisories for your destination and for when you return to your state/city

3. Request approval from local supervisor and Reliant Program Lead (instructions are on notification form)
4. Share form with notifyHR@reliant.org.

When planning travel, allow enough time to complete the notification process, inform the appropriate people of travel plans, and gain approvals. Any questions regarding this process can be directed to your Program Team or to notifyHR@reliant.org. 

This policy also applies to Associate Staff who are traveling for any Reliant-affiliated work or ministry reason, including MTD.

If you do need to cancel a trip, you can find information on reimbursements here. 

Reliant cannot restrict or endorse personal travel; it is a personal decision for each individual to make. We do request that you review the CDC's website for information on both international and domestic travel.
