announcing a Tuition Reimbursement Program

To: Workers of Robles Inc.

From: Human Resource Director

Subject: New Tuition Reimbursement Program

This is typically drafted to inform all the full-time workers regarding the new available courses they can pursue and how the organization will make reimbursement of maximum $3,500 in tuition and fees during all the one calendar year.

Eligibility

The program is eligible to full-time workers who have operated within the business for a minimum of one year.

Application Process

The applications will be made available at the institution’s human resource office together with the catalogs from nearby schools and colleges aimed at availing more data to the employees on the courses that are present.

In the application process, it must be approved through signing by the worker’s immediate supervisor and then later turned in to the human resource office for examination before the first class meeting.

Reimbursement

The reimbursement will be allocated once the worker finishes the entire course with a minimum grade of C or a better grade and submits in the three essential documents that entail

1. An approved grade report
2. A copy of the acknowledged application
3. A statement of the tuition payment

As per the current standing of the program, the internal revenue service will not have the mandate of taxing undergraduate and essential education reimbursement of $3,500 or less a year; even though, graduate programs will have to pay a tax on payments.

Workers that are eligible for more sources of financial help, the organization will strategically cater for the tuition fees not approved as long as the support does not exceed the $3,500 and does not go beyond the actual cost of tuition and fees.

Courses

Workers are allowed to choose from the sessions that associate their current position or those that would at the end qualify them for a promotion or transfer in the institution. Also, the course can be at any appropriate level including high school, college, or graduate.

In availing this tuition reimbursement program, the business is giving workers the chance to upgrade themselves and assist the institution in becoming more competitive within the marketing surrounding. Employees will also be able to acquire immense knowledge to help themselves advance and move up to the leadership positions within the business set-up.

The organization appreciates the loyalty to Robles Inc. and typically looks forward to availing adverse benefits and opportunities in the coming future.

Respectfully,

Paul Smith

Head of Human Resources
