Reliant utilizes a wage and salary structure that is made up of salary ranges for each job classification. These ranges take into account the level of responsibility and duties of each job within the classification. A wage or salary range is made up of a minimum, a midpoint, and a maximum. These ranges have been set by comparing the job descriptions of those jobs contained in a classification with positions in ministry organizations of similar purpose and size. For example, salary surveys are used to compare salary data for key jobs. The salary ranges within the structure are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors once a year.

A component of each proposed salary increase is based upon the continued service of Reliant employees. Reliant recognizes that employees are generally making sacrifices to be in ministry, and therefore, desires to reward the dedication and loyalty of its employees.
