This Notification process is specifically for long-term domestic employees and does not apply to employees who are part of a Fixed-Term or International.

If you are a Fixed-Term or an International staff member, please contact your liaison for instructions and information. 

• Fixed-Term (interns/residents/fellows) - contact Leanne Strickland at leanne.strickland@reliant.org (689) 206-0185
• International - contact Adrienne Bridges at international@reliant.org (407) 801-8397

Reliant staff are responsible for notifying Reliant when they experience a change in their hours.

Required Steps

• To notify Reliant of a change in your hours, please fill out the form below.  This form must be shared and APPROVED by your Supervisor.  In most cases, especially for people in initial MTD status, we advise also sharing it with your MTD Coach so they're informed of your change. 
• A change in hours requires a new Support Goal, which you may submit on Toolbox. This is where you will indicate your new number of hours worked per week. 
  • The completed form with Supervisor approval and your new support goal need to be submitted before the payroll changes deadline of the 16th to be processed for the next paycheck. 

Other Possible Steps

• Changes to 30 or more hours will require enrollment in Reliant's medical insurance plan (unless you meet the waiver criteria) and Reliant's Life and Long-Term Disability Insurances.
  • For more information, go to: Medical Insurance and Reliant's Benefits & Insurances - Overview
• A reduction in hours below 30 will result in a loss of eligibility for medical, dental, and life insurances. 
• A change in hours will also result in a change in benefit levels related to PTO, education reimbursement, Ministry Expense Bonuses, and 403(b)9 match. 
  • Remember, if you want to change the amount of our 403(b)9 withholding, log into Principal to make the change.

• Significant changes in hours (especially a decrease of more than 5 hours) will require donor notification through a prayer letter. 

• If also changing staff level, an updated Job Descriptions must be submitted. 

Reliant staff members must notify Reliant when they experience a change in their MTD Coach and/or Supervisor.
