Description

The Educational Assistance Program for employees in Hennepin is designed to support full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service in advancing their education. This program allows eligible employees to further develop their skills through courses offered by accredited institutions, including colleges and technical schools, with reimbursement for tuition and registration fees. Key features include a structure of reimbursement based on grades achieved, where employees can receive up to 100 percent for an 'A' grade and a minimum of 50 percent for a 'C' grade, with a limit on the number of credits per semester. To utilize the form, employees must submit a tuition reimbursement request in advance and obtain approval from their supervisor and human resources. The form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by offering a clear pathway for educational advancement that aligns with their career growth while ensuring compliance with employer policies. Additionally, it includes provisions for repayment if the employee leaves the company within two years of receiving benefits, thus encouraging long-term employment. This document serves not only as a request form but also as a contract that outlines the responsibilities and expectations of both the employee and the employer.
