Description

The Educational Assistance Program for Employees aims to support eligible employees in Contra Costa by funding their education related to their current job or future opportunities within the company. The program is available to full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service and covers costs for approved courses from accredited institutions. Employees can receive reimbursements based on their grades, with specified percentages for various grades, ensuring financial support is based on performance. To utilize the program, employees must submit a tuition reimbursement form for approval before their courses begin and must meet specific requirements for reimbursement eligibility. Moreover, if an employee leaves the company within two years of receiving reimbursement, they must repay the funds. This program is particularly beneficial for those assisting clients or stakeholders with disabilities, as it fosters a more skilled and knowledgeable workforce. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants can guide their clients through the application process, helping them understand the eligibility criteria and reimbursement procedures, ultimately promoting inclusivity in professional development.
