yes. almost every employer offers some degree of tuition reimbursement because, as far as I understand, they can get a tax deduction for the money they pay to their employees under such a program. most places will offer around $5000 a year, as the federal cap (the last time I looked) for reimbursement was $5250.
- _delirium 14y agoIs it actually common for hourly staff? I know it's common for tech employees, but I didn't realize it was also common for warehouse staff, janitors, etc. to get tuition reimbursement.
- HeyLaughingBoy 14y agoI have never seen a restriction on the class (exempt/non-exempt) of employee. The only restriction I remember seeing for tuition reimbursement at the companies I've worked at was that you must be full time and the coursework must somehow be related to what the company does. That last bit is typically only there to discourage "underwater basketweaving" courses. The most common degrees people go for seem to be general Business, Marketing, Accounting, and then the more specialized tech. degrees. I'm amazed at the number of CS people I come across who have "silent" MBA's. At my last job I knew at least one person who joined with a high school diploma and eventually had an MSEE all paid for by the company.
