Description

The Educational Assistance Program for Employees in Illinois is designed to support eligible employees in enhancing their skills and job performance through tuition assistance. Key features of the program include eligibility for full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service, and coverage for actual costs of tuition and registration fees, with reimbursement amounts based on grades achieved. Employees must seek pre-approval from their supervisor and human resources before enrolling in courses at accredited institutions. The reimbursement structure rewards higher grades with greater percentages, ranging from 100% for an A to 50% for a C grade. It is essential that employees remain employed at the time of course completion and submit necessary documentation, including transcripts and proof of payment, to receive reimbursement. The form must be completed and signed by both the employer and employee to validate the agreement. This program is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants aiming to advance their qualifications while managing their job responsibilities effectively.
