Description

The Educational Assistance Program for Employees in Cuyahoga offers a structured approach to support employees with disabilities in enhancing their skills through approved educational courses. This program allows eligible full-time employees, who have completed at least one year of service, to seek reimbursement for tuition and registration fees associated with courses that directly relate to their job or career progression. Key features include a reimbursement scale based on grades received, ensuring that educational pursuits do not interfere with job responsibilities, and the necessity to submit a tuition reimbursement form for pre-approval. Employees must provide proof of payment and transcript upon course completion and repay any reimbursements if they leave the organization within two years. This form serves as both a commitment to the employee's educational goals and a legally binding agreement with the employer, which highlights mutual responsibility under the program. Attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants can utilize this form to ensure compliance with corporate educational policies, advise clients on employee rights and obligations, and facilitate informed discussions about workplace accommodations for employees with disabilities.
