Description

The Educational Assistance Program for Employees in Michigan is designed to support eligible employees, particularly those with disabilities, in pursuing further education and skill development. This program allows full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service to apply for reimbursement of tuition and registration fees for courses related to their job or a relevant degree. Key features include a structured reimbursement schedule based on grades achieved and a requirement for prior written approval from supervisors and HR. The form must be filled out to enroll or confirm enrollment in a course, ensuring that the employee's job responsibilities remain unaffected. Additional stipulations include submission of an official transcript and proof of payment after course completion. This program benefits attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by providing a clear framework for educational advancement while also promoting workplace inclusivity for employees with disabilities.
