Does Office of Administration Statewide Policy 2 apply to the CPM designation-i.e., since the CPM is not a condition of employment, can departments reimburse employees for this certification?
In the opinion of OA General Counsel, because Statewide Policy 2 deals with licenses, not training, the CPM accreditation does not fall under the policy criteria. Consequently, state agencies can pay for an employee to participate in the CPM program (or reimburse an employee for his/her participation in the CPM) as the agency’s resources allow.
