Training Expense and Uniform Reimbursement?

zen · February 2005

We have an operation that requires all employees to be trained in several specialized areas. Usually this requires finding the applicant with the most applicable skills and then sending them to additional training that requires us to pay tuition for at least one college semester. We have experienced being used as a "training mill" for other regional businesses.

Do any of you have a Training Reimbursement Policy for employees who voluntarily terminate their employment after the company has paid for specialized training?

We also provide personalized uniforms for employees (everything except underwear and socks)at a considerable expense to our company. Do you have a policy for reimbursement of uniforms?

Thanks for your help.

Our education policy is open to all; but, it requires reimbursement to the company if they do not stay for one year.

We have a uniform policy that is optional. About a quarter of the employees utilize it. We pay the laundry bill. If they quit and don't return the uniforms, it comes out of their last check.

change your tuition policy to state that employee is required to remain on the job for at least ____ whatever period you require. if they don't the prorated amount will be deducted from their paycheck.

as far as uniforms - we supplied them and laundered them. it was their responsibility to get them turned in - if not we deducted the cost of the missing item. of course, be sure you have a signed authroization in the file that states if the correct number is not turned in upon termination the value will be deducted from last check.

usually works but we all know there's always one that will take it to the wire.
