Supervisory Unit. The County agrees to establish a Countywide fund in the amount of sixty thousand dollars ($60,000.00) each fiscal year for purposes of reimbursing Supervisory Unit employees for tuition costs of job-related education or career development training, and/or for reimbursement of membership dues in professional organizations. Such expenditures shall be authorized to Supervisory Unit employees in regular positions budgeted more than forty (40) hours per pay period, on a first-come, first-served basis until the fund is depleted, provided: such expenditure enhances furtherance of County or continuing education goals, is approved in advance by the appointing authority and PERC and does not exceed a maximum of six hundred dollars ($600.00) per employee. Reimbursement requests shall not be paid in increments less than ten dollars ($10.00) per fiscal year. Employee initiated education or career development shall not be considered as time actually worked for purposes of computing overtime and normally shall not occur during regular work hours. No Unit member shall receive tuition reimbursement in excess of the limitation determined by the Internal Revenue Service. Eligibility for reimbursement is contingent upon an approved course or seminar, completed with, where applicable, a grade of “C” or better or “pass” when taken on a pass/fail basis, except in extenuating circumstances where such a situation as verifiable illness prevents an individual from completing a course.
