The Educational Assistance Policy for Employees in Middlesex outlines a structured program designed to support eligible employees in enhancing their skills and knowledge through approved educational courses. Key features of the policy include provisions for reimbursement of tuition and registration fees for courses aligned with the employee's current job or potential career growth. Full-time employees with at least one year of service may participate, given they obtain prior approval from their supervisor and the human resources department. Reimbursement amounts are determined by the grade received—100% for an A, 75% for B and pass/fail courses, 50% for a C, and none for lower grades. Employees receiving funding from other sources can still utilize this policy but are limited to reimbursement for the remaining balance up to the maximum limit. Essential instructions include submitting a reimbursement form before course commencement and providing proof of payment and grades upon completion. This policy is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants seeking to further their education, maintain competency in their roles, or prepare for advanced positions within their organizations. Overall, this educational assistance policy creates opportunities for personal and professional development while aligning employee growth with organizational goals.
