This process is designed for workgroups where multiple staff members are working at the same location and all or most of the staff in the workgroup are employed by Reliant. The process for placing Reliant employees at a staff level may be different when Reliant staff members are working at a ministry alongside other staff who are employed by the ministry partner.
