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 or child, several days may be needed to prepare for a return to the work place. 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 (5) 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 Missionary Resources. Employees must notify their supervisor as soon as possible in advance of any absence when they desire to invoke leave for bereavement purposes.

Reliant supports the democratic process that our nation is founded upon and desires to foster participation in it. In light of this, employees without flexible scheduling may take time away from work in order to vote, in which case the work time must be made up at another time during that work week. This activity of voting is expected to normally involve no more than two hours.
