Announcing a Tuition Reimbursement Program

Your organization has decided to encourage employees to take courses by reimbursing each eligible employee a maximum of $3,500.00 in tuition and fees during any one calendar year. Anyone who wants to participate in the program must apply before the initial class meeting; the application must be signed by the employees immediate supervisor. The Office of Human Resources will evaluate applications. That office has application forms; it also has catalogs from nearby schools and colleges.

The only courses employees must choose are those either related to the employees current position (or to a position in the company that the employee might hold someday) or part of a job-related degree program. Again, the degree must be one that would help the employees current position or that would qualify them for a promotion or transfer in the organization.

Only tuition and fees are covered, not books or supplies. People whose applications are approved will be reimbursed when they have completed the course with a grade of C or better. An employee cannot be reimbursed until they submit a copy of the approved application, an official grade report, and a statement of the tuition paid. If someone is eligible for other financial aid (scholarship), the company will pay tuition costs not covered by that aid if the employee does not receive more than $3,500.00 and if the total tuition reimbursement does not exceed the actual cost of tuition and fees.

Part-time employees are not eligible; full-time employees must work at the company for a year before they can apply to participate in the program.

As director of human resources, write a letter to all full-time employees explaining this new benefit.
