Upon approval of the Mayor, the City will pay the cost of tuition and materials to attend required schooling for continuing education to perform certain work within the City, and will pay the employee's wages for time actually spent in the classroom. The City will reimburse mileage, but will not pay wages for off-duty time to drive to and from the location of any schooling. A passing grade of "C" or better or obtains a certificate attesting to the passage of the course where grades are not given is required.
Tuition reimbursement does not obligate the City in any way to reward successful completion with promotion, transfer, reassignment or a salary increase.
Employees must be employed by the City for a minimum period of six (6) months in order to be eligible for the tuition reimbursement program. If an employee does not remain in the employment of the City for a period of three (3) years following the completion of the course for which the employee received reimbursement, the employee must repay any tuition reimbursement received from the City within (3) years from the date of separation from the City, on a prorated basis.
