Looking for guidelines for requiring refund when employee earns an advanced degree - company pays - and then leaves the company shortly thereafter. Does anyone have a policy in place? How long do you require them to stay; how much is asked for reimbursement; do they sign a statement agreeing?

I dont totally agree with current poolicy at my com here, but its for ur ref.
If training course < 6 ms, u have to work for com at least 3yrs, > 6ms have to work for com at least 5yrs.
IMHO, i think it should better base on cost of training course, set a rank of cost, for example: 500 - 1000$- u have to refund 100% if you quit, 70% if 6 mos after u quit, etc.
Others advise is highly appreciated.

If an employee resigns his/her employment or the Company terminates his/her employment due to cause while a job-related course(s) is in progress or within one year following completion of a job-related course(s), the employee must reimburse all Company-paid expenses: that is, the cost of tuition plus any additional fees incurred (e.g., books and registration fees) for the course(s) in progress or the most recently completed course(s).


If an employee resigns his/her employment or the Company terminates his/her employment due to cause while a non-job-related course(s) is in progress or within two years following completion of a non-job-related course(s), the employee must reimburse all Company-paid expenses: that is, the cost of tuition plus any additional fees incurred (e.g., books and registration fees) for the course(s) in progress or the most recently completed course(s).

Resignation/Termination Reimbursement Schedule Summary

Course Type & Service Requirement

Job-Related course = One year
Non-Job-Related= two years

Hope this helps!

This is an interesting topic and one which has been debated a lot in the UK recently. Have a look at:

Before introducing any policy like this fully understand what the purpose is and the costs of doing it.

If you are considering this because you want to increase staff retention DONT it will not, if anything it demonstrates that as a company you are more interested in cash than you are the welfare & skills of people.
