Description

The Educational Assistance Program for Employees in Cuyahoga aims to enhance the skills and performance of eligible employees, particularly those with disabilities. It provides reimbursement for tuition and registration fees for courses at accredited institutions, ensuring the subjects are relevant to the employee's current role or future position within the organization. Full-time regular employees with at least one year of service can participate. Key features include a structured reimbursement schedule based on the grade received, with higher reimbursement rates for better grades. Employees must submit a tuition reimbursement form and obtain prior approval from their supervisor and HR. To qualify, employees need to remain actively employed and submit proof of course completion. If an employee leaves the organization within two years after receiving reimbursement, they must repay the funds. This form is useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it delineates clear responsibilities and expectations while encouraging workforce development and diversity within Cuyahoga's employment landscape.
