Employee Development /Tuition Reimbursement The city encourages and recommends lifelong learning for its employees and offers reimbursement to regular, full-time employees for up to 75% of the tuition paid by the employee, excluding scholarships and grants up to a maximum reimbursement of $3,000 per year for accredited college or other classes directly related to the employee's position with the city. To be eligible for reimbursement the following requirements must be met: 1. Prior to class registration, written approval from the employee's department director and the city administrator to determine eligibility; and 2. The class must apply directly to the employee's position or be required to complete an associate, bachelor's, master's, or doctorate degree in the field in which the employee works; 3. The employee must successfully complete the class. If letter grades are assigned, the minimum grade required for reimbursement is a C; and 4. The reimbursement must be submitted within 60 days of class completion. Books and other non-tuition fees do not qualify for reimbursement. All classes must be taken on employee time and time spent on classes is not considered hours worked. If any portion of the employee's class/development activity is conducted during regular work hours, the employee must take vacation or compensatory leave, an unpaid leave of absence, if approved, or arrange for flexible scheduling, if approved by the department director.
