Description

The Educational Assistance Policy for Employees in Queens provides support for eligible employees seeking to enhance their skills through educational programs. It is designed for full-time employees who have completed at least one year of service, allowing reimbursement for tuition and registration fees for approved courses from accredited institutions. Key features include a structured reimbursement schedule based on grades, which can cover up to a specified number of credits per semester, and guidelines for submitting tuition reimbursement forms prior to course commencement. Employees pursuing degrees or certifications must ensure their studies do not interfere with their job responsibilities. The policy emphasizes that reimbursement will be adjusted based on any other financial aid received and mandates the employee's repayment if they leave the employer within two years of reimbursement. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who are looking to continue their education, improving their qualifications and aligning their skills with their career aspirations.
