ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Consider and take action on Resolution No. 18-042, approving revisions to the personnel policy. (Human Resources)
BACKGROUND
This resolution is to approve revisions to 8.06 Tuition Reimbursement/Educational Assistance in the Personnel Policy.
Additions to the policy include:
Additions to the policy include:
- The City will reimburse an employee for one associate degree, undergraduate (bachelor) degree, graduate (master) degree and doctorate degree.
- If the "Tuition Reimbursement/Educational Assistance" form is not submitted and approved prior to the beginning of the class reimbursement will be denied.
- The City invests in tuition reimbursement/educational assistance to employees with the expectation that the investment will be returned through enhanced job knowledge and performance. Tuition reimbursement payments are conditional upon the employee’s continued employment with the City for a minimum of 2 years from the date of the last reimbursement. In the event the employee leaves employment with the City for any reason prior to the fulfillment of the 2 years of employment, the employee will be responsible for reimbursing the City the amount of their reimbursements according to the schedule below:
- Leaves employment with the City less than 1 year from the date of the last reimbursement will require reimbursing the City the full tuition that was paid in the previous 2 year period.
- Leaves employment with the City less than 2 years but more than one year from the date of the last reimbursement will require reimbursing the City 50% of the tuition that was paid in the previous 2 year period.
This amount will be deducted from the employee’s final paycheck. In the event the employee’s final paycheck will not cover the reimbursement, the employee and the City will enter into a repayment schedule agreement.
