RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Amendment of the Tuition Reimbursement Policy - Thomas G. "Tom" Turner, Human Resources Department Director

That the Board adopt the revised Policy, entitled "Tuition Reimbursement Policy," amending Section II, C.24, of the Board of County Commissioners' Policy Manual, to address certain gaps in the Policy and to provide a more general description of the applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

BACKGROUND:

As part of an on-going Human Resources Policy review and based upon recent board discussions during budget hearings, staff has identified changes needed in the Tuition Reimbursement Policy to align it with Board and County Administrator direction. This policy will assist employees in their ability to carry out their assigned duties and to prepare them for other opportunities within County operations. The maximum reimbursement amount for undergraduate and graduate courses will be $2,400 per fiscal year for each employee. The current policy includes the implementation procedures which will now be addressed under a department memo. The recommendation in this policy would become effective October 1, 2015, to permit training and familiarization for management and employees.
