Description

The Educational Assistance Program for Employees provides a structured framework for eligible employees in Suffolk to enhance their skills and performance through educational benefits. This program covers tuition and registration fees for approved courses at accredited institutions, supporting both degree programs and certifications relevant to the employee's job. Eligible employees must be full-time and have completed at least one year of service. The reimbursement process stipulates that employees must submit a tuition reimbursement form for approval before course commencement and achieve a qualifying grade for reimbursement. The reimbursement amounts are tiered based on the grade received, with a maximum credit limit per semester. Additionally, the policy outlines that any reimbursement will consider other funding sources, ensuring equitable support. Crucially, if an employee leaves the organization within two years of receiving reimbursement, they must repay the funds. This form is particularly valuable for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in navigating employee development within the legal field.
