Employed Missionaries that have a counseling practice or coaching practice that is part of their Reliant Job description/time worked and for which revenue is generated are obligated to submit all revenue received from their services rendered to Reliant. All revenue of this nature will be assessed an admin fee based on Reliant's normal admin fee structure (in most cases a 12% admin fee will be applied, however minimum admin fees are applicable).  Checks and other methods of payment must be made payable to "Reliant" and must be clearly labeled/identified as counseling/coaching revenue. A Counselor Profile must be completed to initiate a Counselor/Coaching arrangement with Reliant.  Please contact the Finance Manger to begin this process. The Counselor Profile documents the pricing structure that the missionary will use for their counseling/coaching practice. 

The Reliant missionary is then responsible to submit a log of all revenue submitted to Reliant outlining the following details:  

1) Date of the session

2) Revenue received

3) Indication if the revenue received was a discounted rate

4) Type of payment method

5) Any special comments - for example if someone pays for 2 sessions at one time you can put * paid for this session and last session on X/X/XXXX date.

Professional Revenue as well as the accompanying revenue logs must be submitted to Reliant for review and processing within a timely manner of when the revenue was received from the client(s). (Monthly log submission is preferred). Professional Revenue Logs may be emailed to finance@reliant.org.

Reliant does not issue receipts to clients for professional services that were rendered by Reliant missionaries.  If a client requests a receipt, the Reliant missionary may create their own receipt to provide to the client.  Payments by clients for professional services are not eligible for a tax-deduction benefit, as the person received a service in exchange for the money they paid.

Reliant provides general liability coverage for counselors/coaches, therefore additional liability insurance purchased by the Reliant missionary is not eligible for reimbursement.  Other ministry expenses related to a counseling or coaching practice may be eligible for reimbursement, based on Relaint's Acciountable Reimbursement Plan guidelines - see Reimbursement Manual.
