In the case of a Reliant commissioned/ordained minister or pastor who does not have sufficient funds in the account for which he or she is responsible to receive his or her approved parsonage, "back parsonage" is not available. Reliant does allow staff members to accrue "backpay" for any parsonage they did not receive in a given month. However, this backpay will be paid as "taxable" wages when the employee raises sufficient funds for the account for which he or she is responsible to be paid as backpay. If Instead of issuing a shortcheck for the parsonage and creating "back parsonage," Reliant will reduce the parsonage amount to the maximum amount that is available to be paid.  The difference in the reduced parsonage amount that was paid out and the approved parsonage amount will be converted to a pro-rated salary amount, which is then shortchecked (along with any other taxable earnings on the paystub, for which sufficient funds were not available to pay out).  The shortchecked pro-rated amount becomes "backpay" just like any other backpay the employee may incur. This backpay will be eligible for payment based on the standard backpay payment procedure detailed above.  If the commissioned minister/pastor is also a 401K participant (not including Roth participants) , and has a pay period in which his or her taxable earnings do not exceed or equal his or her 401K contribution, Reliant or has pre-tax benefits or deductions (for example Cafeteria Plan items - vision insurance, childcare deductions, HSA contributions) Reliant will also reclassify a portion of the employee's parsonage as "taxable" earnings to make the 401K contributionwhich would then be converted to "nontaxable" earnings by the 401K contributions or other pre-tax benefits and deductions.
