Tuition Reimbursement


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pennsylvania

Good Morning,

I am new HR Mgr at manufacturing co. President resigned last month. Prior to his departure he made a signed agreement with one employee to not only pay his total school tuition for two years but to also pay him 4 hours daily for attending school. In turn, the employee must work for us for 3 years or reimburse company for all expenses.

Do we have to abide by this agreement? We implemented new formal tuition policy June 1, 2009 stating 5K annual max paid to employee after completion of course. This agreement was signed prior to the new policy. Could we still agree to pay the tuition but not the wages to go to school?

Thanks for your help.

You'll have to show the agreement and any associated documentation to an attorney in your state. We cannot comment on the enforceability of a document we have not read.

Agree about reviewing with a local attorney...

On the face of it, it appears that you would need to abide by the agreement.
