The purpose of this page is to offer guidance as you prepare for your exit from a fixed-term program and Reliant employment. We encourage you to read through it and work through the checklist below.


At Reliant, we feel privileged to serve you and the many other workers God has planted around the world. We are grateful for the opportunity to have come alongside you on this journey. We will miss you, we will always be here for you, and we are excited to see where God takes you next.

Philippians 1:3-6 (NKJV): 3 I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, 4 always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, 5 for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."


What to expect when exiting:

  1. On the last day of the month of exit, unless otherwise agreed upon or the exit was involuntary, Reliant will close the account you're responsible for, disabling one-time giving and halting promised giving.
  2. If donors wish to have their giving changed or canceled before the last day of the month of your exit, they can login at Reliant.org or contact Donor Services.
  3. Your Reliant.org email address and Google Account will be deleted two months post-exit, so be sure to leave us with the optimal way to reach you post-employment.
    1. Be sure to capture any files or emails that you don't want to lose
  4. Once your Reliant.org email address is deleted, you will no longer have access to Toolbox.

See the checklist for all your action items. Related to this topic:

  • Please contact all donors, both one-time and regular/monthly. Thank them for their generosity and let them know you are exiting the program and employment with Reliant. Inform them that their giving will be stopped automatically and anything else you might like to share.
  1. Your final paycheck from Reliant will come on the pay date after the last month of work (e.g., Aug 15 for a July 31 exit) unless otherwise agreed upon.
  2. Your final paycheck, including any applicable bonuses, is dependent on sufficient funding in the account you’re responsible for.
  3. Accrued backpay is wiped clean upon exit and will not be paid out after the final paycheck; backpay is not transferred to a spouse (if applicable).
  • If there are funds remaining in the account you’re responsible for after all expenses through the final paycheck have been paid, those funds will remain with Reliant, as the 501(c)(3) receiving organization. Reliant will make every effort to utilize any remaining funds for the ministry that you raised to work with and other support-based staff.
  • If you are continuing in support-based ministry with another non-profit or church, Reliant can provide remaining funds to that organization. This requires pre-approval from your current/local ministry and Reliant.

Checklist

Please complete your Exit Survey.

We want to hear from you on your Reliant employment experience and how we can best serve future employees.

Check that we have updated contact information for you and inform us of any changes.

  • You can find your address on file by looking at a recent paystub.
  • Your Reliant.org account email address will revert to the personal email used in your application.

The contact information left with us upon your exit is what Reliant will use to communicate important year end tax statements.

If you need to update either of these items, please submit this Contact Info Change Form.

*This form is only accessible when logged into your Reliant Google account. Reliant accounts and email addresses are deleted two months post-exit.

Send your final update to donors! 

Please contact all donors, both one-time and regular/monthly. Thank them for their generosity, and let them know you are exiting the program and employment with Reliant. Inform them that their giving will be stopped automatically and anything else you might like to share.

Prepare for insurance changes, if enrolled in a Reliant medical plan.

If you currently have medical insurance through Reliant, please complete this quick form to inform us about your decision concerning continuance coverage.

Your Reliant health insurance coverage ends on the date of your exit unless otherwise requested through the above form.

Take accountability for any retirement investments.

If you've been contributing to your Reliant retirement fund, from your paycheck or through the employer contribution, login to your retirement account to become aware of the funds you are now responsible for. Kudos for planning for the future!

  • Balances greater than $1000 will remain with GuideStone for you to keep there, rollover to another provider, or withdraw as you'd like.
  • Balances of less than $1000 will be transferred to an IRA fund with Inspira. You'll hear from Inspira on options from there.
