Description

The Educational Assistance Program form is designed to assist eligible employees in King by providing financial support for educational endeavors that align with their job roles. This program is available to full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service. Approved courses must be relevant to the employee's current duties or contribute towards a degree that the employer deems reasonable. Financial reimbursement covers actual tuition and registration fees, capped at a specified maximum per semester, with reimbursement rates varying based on the grades achieved—from 100% for an 'A' to no reimbursement for grades lower than 'C.' To qualify, employees must submit a tuition reimbursement request in advance, receive approval from their supervisor and human resources, maintain employment through course completion, and achieve a qualifying grade. Additionally, employees must provide proof of payment and an official transcript after completing their courses. If an employee leaves the company within two years after receiving reimbursement, they are required to repay the funds. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants seeking to further their education while managing their job responsibilities, ensuring clarity in the reimbursement process and aiding in professional development.
