The Educational Assistance Employees Form 109 in Oakland is designed to facilitate a structured educational assistance program provided by employers to eligible employees. Key features of this form include eligibility criteria, which stipulate that full-time employees with at least one year of service can apply for educational reimbursement for courses directly related to their job or pursuing a degree. The form requires employees to declare their enrolled program and ensure that it will not interfere with their job responsibilities. Reimbursement amounts vary based on grades received, incentivizing academic achievement. To qualify for reimbursement, employees must seek prior approval from their supervisor and HR, complete the course while employed, and submit official documentation post-completion, including transcripts and proof of payment. The form also includes a repayment clause if the employee leaves the company within two years of receiving reimbursement. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who wish to further their education while maintaining their job, contributing to both personal development and company growth.
