THE WAY INTERNATIONAL STAFF HANDBOOK 1997-98

HEADQUARTERS EDITION

Dear Staff Disciple:

God bless you abundantly, and welcome to our year of RISE and EXPANSION all the way to PREVAILING. We do it together or not at all (Ephesians 4.3). So these standards of logic and ethic need to be understood and applied diligently. Keep it close, consult it, live it. This should be the greatest year of our more abundant lives.

In the Lord,


L. Craig Martindale


THE WAY INTERNATIONAL

The Way is a fellowship of the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ for the manifestation of the more abundant life. A follower of The Way is filled with and manifests power from on high, holy spirit, and freely avails himself of fellowship meetings for spiritual nurture and growth. The Way fellowship is cemented together by the Spirit of God with each individual believer being transformed by the renewing of his mind according to the Word of God.

TIME

Our time is God's time 24 hours a day. The first-time Staff of The Way International are ready to serve in any capacity at any time to move the prevailing Word and meet the needs of the ministry. Living up to this commitment while living on a need basis is one of the greatest forms of abundant sharing one can give. For this reason, the ministry considers a Staff individual's salary as an already abundantly-shared-on amount. We give our lives.

Minimum hours at a Root locale each week:

50 hours Men, single women, wives with no children

42 hours Moms with youngest child in 9th - 12th grade

32 hours Moms with youngest child in 1st - 8th grade

STANDARDS OF PERSONAL CONDUCT

Our Staff are to abide by the "2-drink limit" concerning alcoholic beverages--the same standard upheld by The Way Corps (legal age in Ohio is 21).

The Way Corps are expected to abstain from the use of any and all tobacco products.

MEDICAL REIMBURSEMENT

The Way International functions as a household. As such, one of the benefits set up by the Board of Trustees is the reimbursement of approved medical and dental expenses. "Medical reimbursement" is an in-house term. You are self-pay and responsible for your own medical bills. You may use this medical reimbursement as needed.

Medical reimbursement is available to: (1) Full-time Staff who are not covered by a parent's, spouse's, or personal insurance policy; and (2) spouse and minor dependents when both the husband and wife are on Staff or if the full-time Staff individual is the only working member of the family. Children are covered until age 19 (23 if full-time students). Not covered are part-time, seasonal, or summer employees. Medical reimbursement is not available to cover expenses which can or should be covered by Workers' Compensation, car insurance, or other coverage. Medical reimbursement is available for approved health-care expenses, hospitalization, and prescription services provided at the direction of a licensed physician (including medical, chiropractic, osteopathic, dental, ophthalmologic, pediatric).

Guidelines and Limitations:

I Items not covered without prior approval of the Personnel Department: Treatments and devices for cosmetic reasons, prosthetic treatments and devices, orthodontia, vasectomies, tubal legations, TMJ splints, treatment for chronic conditions, or any procedures, medications, or devices not reasonably necessary for sound health care as determined by a physician. Requests for approval must be submitted in writing to the Personnel Department (or Trunk Office for The Way of the U.S.A. Staff) and include the anticipated costs, an explanation of the treatment, and the reason the treatment is being recommended by a physician or dentist.

2. All medical or dental treatments or proposed treatment plans that will exceed $500 (with the exception of emergency procedures) must be submitted to the Personnel Department (or Trunk Office for The Way of the U.S.A. Staff) for approval before the work is initiated. Written requests for approval must include the anticipated costs, an explanation of the treatment, and the reason the treatment is being recommended by a physician or dentist.

3. Glasses and contact lenses: An individual may be reimbursed for one pair of glasses or contact lenses during each Staff year (September I through August 31). If both are necessary, then a written request may be submitted to the Personnel Department (or Trunk Office for The Way of the U.S.A. Staff) for approval.

4. Vitamins or food supplements will only be covered during pregnancy or while under a specific course of treatment by a doctor. Please identify your receipts as to what was purchased and write on the receipt whether it was prescribed by a doctor or for maternity purposes. Self prescribed items are not covered.

5. Chiropractic treatments are not to exceed a total of $750 per person during one Staff year. It is each family's responsibility to keep track of their own chiropractic expenses. In the event that an individual believes it is necessary to exceed the stated chiropractic limit, a written request for approval must be submitted to the Personnel Department (or Trunk Office for The Way of the U.S.A. Staff) with an explanation of the treatment plan being recommended and the anticipated costs for the treatment.

6. The total limit for medical reimbursement of expenses incurred during a Staff year (September I through August 3 1) is not to exceed $3,500 per person or $7,500 for a couple or family.

Procedure for reimbursement: Submit receipts or original bills with payment verification to the Personnel Department (or Trunk Office for The Way of the U.S.A. Staff). Attach to your receipts or bills a Medical Reimbursement Form, available from your Department or Limb coordinator. Please circle on each receipt or bill the amount for which you are asking reimbursement. If we receive your reimbursement form 10 days prior to payday, your reimbursement will be on the next paycheck. (The amount is shown separately on the pay statement.) We will not photocopy the bills you send in, nor can we return them to you.

If you are unable to pay the bill before reimbursement: You may request an advance (such as money required to be paid to a hospital to secure a discount) by writing to the Personnel Department (or Trunk Office for The Way of the U.S.A. Staff). Paid bills or receipts supporting the advance should be submitted to Personnel within 30 days after the date of the advance. Attach a note stating this is payment verification only. (Do not send a Medical Reimbursement Form at this point.)

Please note: This is not insurance, and you should explain to the health-care professionals that you deal with that you are self-pay (you do not have insurance and are responsible for the bills personally). Therefore, your physician, dentist, and hospital should be willing to cooperate with you to minimize the costs in your best interests.

The Way International's Board of Trustees reserves the right to make other arrangements with employees and also to revise this plan at any time upon written notice.

STAFF THIRD-AID PROCEDURES

Third Aid, a part of the Safety/Telecommunications Department, is a resource available to Headquarters Staff. It is designed to assist and help clarify the direction that needs to be taken in handling physical needs. Initially, Headquarters Staff should endeavor to handle their needs within their family, living situations, and/or Department.

The Third-Aid person answers calls Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and carries a pager 24 hours a day. Safety answers third-aid calls after 5:00 p.m. and on weekends or if the Third-Aid person is not available. If Safety needs assistance, the Third-Aid person on pager will be contacted. If Third Aid is not available and Safety is unable to handle a situation, the particular overseer should help assess the need to seek a doctor's advice.

The Safety Department responds to medical emergencies that may occur at Headquarters. They can be reached 24 hours a day. For emergency assistance, dial extension 91 1. Your call will be given immediate priority. For trips to the hospital, especially involving the emergency room, the Department coordinators should go and be with the individuals involved.

The Safety Department is also to be notified of any work-related injury that occurs on The Way International property. They will assess the situation and may involve Third Aid to assist in treatment. The Department coordinator must be notified and reports must be filed on any work related injury immediately.

Third Aid has a limited supply of items that may aid in an immediate physical need; however, the individual should be prepared to provide replacement and handle any ongoing needs. Departments that have been issued third-aid kits may get them restocked by sending a stock requisition to Third Aid.

Third Aid is also a resource for information regarding doctors, laboratories, and hospitals available and may be consulted in planning departmental support during a time of surgery. Patients of our believer doctors in Toledo are best served by calling their doctor's office directly.

If you need take-out meals, notify your Department coordinator, who will call Food Services directly.

Please note: If take-out meals are needed for a mother and/or children, the husband as head of the household should handle the meals through his Department coordinator.

THIRD-AID SUPPORT FOR STAFF PREGNANCIES, BIRTHS, AND NEWBORNS

These policies set the standard regarding third-aid support for Staff pregnancies, births, and newborns:

A. Third Aid WILL NOT diagnose conditions or offer medications, herbs, or home remedies.

Third Aid CAN implement a doctor's instructions when necessary. Pregnant couples are to go to their doctor for all medical advice and treatment.

B. If a Staff couple thinks they are pregnant, they may obtain a pregnancy test from Third Aid for a minimal cost. If pregnant, the couple should inform their Department coordinator who will arrange an "orientation" meeting with Third Aid. These points will be covered at that time:

I The couple (together with their Department coordinators) is responsible for planning for their pregnancy, birth, and return home from the hospital. Third Aid will be a resource for the couple and the Department coordinators as needed.

2. Third Aid will help the couple with information on doctors that are available locally, as well as the availability of Dr. Terry Gibbs. Third Aid will make sure the couple understands the difficulties that can arise when their doctor is so far away.

3. The couple must choose another person from their Cabinet areas to assist them during labor and delivery. This person does not have to have a nursing background; he or she just needs to be prepared to give the couple assistance and support at the hospital. The "birth assistant" will check with his or her Department coordinator before accepting.

4. "High risk" pregnancies will be carefully monitored by the couple's Department coordinator and Third Aid (in conjunction with their doctor, of course). On the doctor's advice, Third Aid could go with the couple to the hospital.

5. If, during the course of the pregnancy, a physical situation develops that could turn into a medical emergency, the couple will inform their Department coordinator. The Department coordinator will notify the Safety Department coordinator that a medical emergency could arise. This ensures that Safety is aware of the situation and is prepared to respond properly.

6. Once the couple is home after the delivery of their baby, Third Aid will be available as a resource for the couple (in cooperation with the Department coordinator).

VEHICLE AND PARKING POLICIES

AUTO SHOP STEWARD PROGRAM

We equip and man the auto shop in order to maintain Way International fleet vehicles. The auto shop steward program is designed to make that equipment, plus parts discounts, available to the entire Staff.

If a Staff member needs a minor repair on his vehicle, be may contact an "auto shop steward" who is willing to help, An auto shop steward is someone experienced in doing minor automotive repairs and willing to help other Staff work on their vehicles. He is also a resource to help decide if a repair can be done in-house or if it must be taken to a local dealer. Please see your Department coordinator for a list of shop stewards.

If the repair can be done in our shop, the auto shop steward will schedule a time to work on the vehicle (evenings and weekends only). The steward can use shop tools, plus order parts and tires at wholesale prices. Keep in mind that only auto shop stewards may order parts and that the parts must be paid for when installed (checks only--no cash). Here are examples of services that can be handled under this program:

1. Oil changes

2. Brake jobs

3 Exhaust work

4. Tires

5. Minor engine repair and tune-ups

MILEAGE REIMBURSEMENT

When a vehicle is needed to perform ministry responsibilities, it is preferred (if practical) that Staff request a ministry fleet vehicle from Transportation Services. When a personal vehicle is used, Staff may request mileage reimbursement. The current rate paid by the ministry is 20c per mile and covers fuel costs and maintenance. The Staff individual should steward these funds for the purchase of fuel and for maintenance costs. Mileage reimbursement can be claimed by using the appropriate request form available in each Department. Request forms, approved by your Department coordinator, must be submitted to the Payroll section of the Finance Department by the first of each month and will be reimbursed on the 10th day of the month in your paycheck.
