To encourage continuing <br />education for City employees, the City offers reimbursement to regular full-time employees for up to <br />75 percent of the tuition fee up to a maximum reimbursement of $3,000 per year for accredited <br />college or other classes directly related to the employee's position with the City. To be eligible for <br />reimbursement the following requirements must be met: <br />1 ~ Written approval must be received from the employee's department head and the <br />City Administrator prior to the class registration to determine if tuition <br />reimbursement will be made; and <br />2. The class must apply directly to the employee's position or be required to complete <br />an associate, bachelor's, master's, or doctorate degree in the field in which the <br />employee works; and <br />3. The employee must successfully complete the class. If letter grades are assigned, the <br />minimum grade required for reimbursement is a C. <br />Books and other non-tuition fees do not qualify for reimbursement. <br />All classes must be taken on employee time and time spent on classes is not considered hours <br />worked. If any portion of the employee's class/development activity is conducted during regular <br />work hours, the employee must take vacation or compensatory leave, an unpaid leave of absence, if <br />approved, or arrange for flexible scheduling, if approved by the department head. <br />Lauren Wipper ~ City of Elk River ~ 13065 Orono Parkway ~ Etk River, MN 55330 ~ <br />763.635.1000 Office ~ 763.635.1090 Fax ~ www.ci.elk-river.mn us <br />7/29/2009 <br />
