Can a clerical employee receive tuition reimbursement for a class that was finished while the employee was on a leave of absence (maternity)?
A. The Comptrollers’ Officer will reimburse tuition through union funds for employees who are working when the class begins, go on leave before the class is finished and have signed intent to return to work. They will also process tuition reimbursement for employees who begin a class while on leave but return to work before the class is finished. An employee who is on an unpaid leave when the class begins and ends will not be reimbursed for the class, except when the employee is on an approved educational leave.
