Tuition Assistance

Small Business Notes believes that education leads to self improvement which improves the value of the employee. Because of that philosophy, we encourage our employees to pursue educational opportunities that prepare them for greater responsibility. Small Business Notes will pay for courses which are directly related to your present job or which will help you prepare for more responsibilities or promotions. All courses must be approved by your supervisor, who can provide more specific information on courses covered by this plan. Only employees working thirty (30) regular hours or more per week are eligible.

The plan reimburses expenses for any approved course started after your full time employment with Small Business Notes begins, but reimbursement of expenses will not begin until you have completed six (6) months of full time employment. Courses and seminars, and related fees, books and materials, directly related to the general and customer service industry are reimbursed to eligible employees at 100%. Tuition for courses taken to complete an approved business degree is also reimbursed at 100%, except that related fees, and costs of books and materials are not covered.

To qualify for reimbursement, the employee must successfully complete the course or seminar with a grade of "C" or better, or where applicable, obtain a completion certificate.

The maximum reimbursement amounts are $3,000 per year for courses in a degreed program, and $1,500 per year for all other courses or seminars.

Contact your personnel representative for proper request forms. These forms must be completed and reviewed by your supervisor, at least 10 business days prior to your enrollment in any course or seminar.
