When a partner wants to put someone on hold, we should finish the interview process (Reliant interview) so that we can convey the content of the psychological assessment. With its cost, we don’t want to re-do it if possible. Ideally, we complete the hiring decision step, even when someone is going to be on hold. Then the growth objectives can be identified and you the partner. Then we only have to assess whether they met the stated objectives.
They expire after six months and would need to be done again after that point.
The Reliant portion of the application is good for 12 months after the applicant submits it. If we approach the twelve-month point with someone on hold, we hope we can complete a hiring decision and offer a role, even if training is a few months away. We only re-do the Reliant interview if we have to restart the application because they were on hold for more than 12 months after the application submission.
The International worker's salary reflects the needs of his household, which includes spouse and kids. The International worker would need to raise and increase their salary to include all their expenses. The national spouse can only be Associate Volunteer if they don't have a green card or US citizenship. But, the national spouse should apply for the Associate Volunteer role. By doing so their expenses related to furlough, conferences, and ministry are reimbursable. The expenses only become reimbursable after the national spouse has an offer from us. After accepting an offer from us the national spouse would complete some of our on-boarding training.
