Employer tuition reimbursement vesting period?

[Jeth 0]

I am just curious about other companies tuition reimbursement policies. My shitty company requires you to stay 3 years after they pay for a course. At my husband's company its only 6 months. What's your company's policy?

How much do they pay? Do they require an A in the course?

Just curious. Thanks.

I can't remember its either 6 mths or 1 yr.. they cover 85% ugrad classes and 75% of graduate classes. They also provide you ~8k per calendar yr, but you get taxed a little after they provide ~5k$ that yr.
*edit - dont think they require any grade in the class.. you can fail for all they care

Where's the option for "None"?

Pays 100%, I think the rule is C or better.

Mine was odd. They would pay back as soon as the course was over with no obligation to stay past that point. They gave you $1500 per year (book money basically). Word came down they were going to increase it to $2000 but then they started adding stipulations to it. Eventually the money was up to $3000 per year but it was so loaded with riders that no one used it. Things like it had to be towards a major of the companies chosing, it could'nt interfere with work (After hours/weekend pages included), had to maintain at least a 3.5 overall and an A in the course. I had to have preapproval from Supervisor/ manager, director and HR to take each class. They could deny any class they did not like on a whim.

Since I was a techie I had to take only computer classes, business classes would not be eligable even though it was towards a degree. Lots of Gen-Ed classes tended to get overridden by HR since they did not see why a techie needed to be in Finance classes

I finally graduated and the last 2 semesters only mangaged to get like 3 classes paid for even though my manager had a Personal development plan of me getting my degree to get a promotion/raise

I left my degree with 0 debt because my employer(s) paid for my classes.

I had 3 jobs during my time in school. All of them had the same policy.

100% reimbursement (minus books from one job)

Grade of atleast a C

no time table to stay after course

3 years sucks!!

My company has no vesting period. You must simply be employed for the duration of the course and when requesting reimbursement. I believe the policy is a max of $5k per calander year.

Not that odd -- sounds just like mine! Every class has to directly apply to my current job, must be pre-approved by prez of company, can't interfere with work, must get A in course, all books belong to company... and gotta stay 3 yrs afterwards or pay it back. It sucks!! So I'm funding my $40k+ master's degree with loans.

5 yrs, plus at least a "C" in the course. They know the intellect of the employees.
