4. When the course is completed, a transcript or certificate of completion indicating a passing grade and/or successful completion of the course must be forwarded to Human Resources in order to initiate reimbursement to employee.
5. Reimbursement will be paid after successful completion of the course and upon receipt of documentation supporting the tuition fees paid and the course results

Timing & Reimbursement

Approved coursework should be completed on the employees own time. If approved coursework is only available during the employee’s work hours, the employee must obtain approval from manager prior to the start and ensure that there is no disruption to the everyday needs of the company. An employee is not eligible for tuition reimbursement if they withdraw from an approved course. To be eligible to receive reimbursement employee must pass the course with a 75% or above if applicable. If using tuition reimbursement for a certification exam, employee must pass the exam to be eligible to receive the reimbursement.

An employee’s participation in the plan shall not be construed as an employment contract or as a promise of continuing employment between FrontRunnerHC and the employee. Employment with FrontRunnerHC is considered at-will, meaning either the employee or the company may terminate the relationship without cause or for any reason at any time.
