What is the name of your state ? Ohio.
I work for a large company in Ohio. In the hand book it states that Education Assistance is a benefit. It even lists certain places that I can go that are "Approved". I want to sign up for one of the courses from the "Approved" list but I am being told there is no money. Is my employer allowed to deny me a benefit because they do not want to pay for it? I can understand if it was a policy, but it is listed as a benefit and I am being denied it because they say there is no money in next years budget. I could even understand if it was a first come first serve with limited money in the pot, but that is not the case. I am being told that I cannot sign up for any classes because there will be no money next year. It seems like my employer is unfairly denying a benefit.
