Description

The Educational Assistance Program for Employees in Suffolk is designed to help full-time regular employees enhance their skills through tuition assistance for courses offered by approved institutions. The program covers courses relevant to an employee's current job or future career opportunities, and eligibility requires a minimum of one year of service with the employer. Employees can receive reimbursement for tuition and registration fees up to a specified number of credits per semester, with amounts varying based on the grade received. To be eligible, employees must submit a tuition reimbursement form for approval from their supervisor and the human resources department before starting the course, remain employed during course completion, and achieve a qualifying grade. Additionally, if employees receive funding from other sources, they can still benefit from this program, but reimbursement will only cover the difference in costs. After completing the course, employees must provide official documentation, and should they leave the employer within two years following reimbursement, they must repay the amounts received. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who wish to further their education and align their professional development with organizational goals.
