The Educational Assistance Program for Employees is designed to support eligible employees in Maricopa who seek to enhance their skills through approved educational courses. This program provides reimbursement for tuition and registration fees related to courses at accredited institutions, targeting full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service. Key features include the requirement that courses align with the employee's current job or future career aspirations and a reimbursement structure based on grades achieved. Employees must submit a tuition reimbursement form for prior approval and must also provide proof of course completion to receive funds. If an employee qualifies for other funding sources, reimbursement will only cover the difference within program limits. It's essential for participants to understand the necessity of maintaining employment during and after course completion. Additionally, should an employee leave the company within two years of receiving assistance, they are obligated to repay the reimbursements. This form is particularly beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who support employees with disabilities in navigating the educational benefits available to them.
