The Educational Assistance Policy for employees in Franklin outlines a structured program designed to assist eligible employees in enhancing their skills and advancing their careers through education. This policy supports tuition reimbursement for courses at accredited institutions, aligning with employees' current jobs or prospective positions. Full-time regular employees with at least one year of service can participate, ensuring that their studies do not conflict with job responsibilities. Reimbursement rates are based on grades received, with a maximum limit on credits per semester and considerations for other funding sources. Employees must submit a tuition reimbursement form for approval from their supervisor and human resources before enrolling in courses. To qualify for reimbursement, employees need to maintain employment during the course and submit a transcript and proof of payment upon completion. If an employee leaves the organization within two years of reimbursement, they must repay the funds. This policy is beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who wish to further their education while fulfilling their job responsibilities efficiently.
