All reimbursement is subject to successful completion of the approved courses and continued employment. Career-related courses are those that are related to an employee's current position or those which aid an employee in progressing to any classification in the employee's current classification series or to a classification in a related occupational group within the bargaining unit within the agency. The Building Trades Agreement is silent on the subject, so these employees are eligible under the rules applicable to nonrepresented classified employees. Because the employer may not bargain with individual employees or even with groups of employees, with the exception of the language applicable to the WSP and WPEC which would allow the broader rules suggested by the Vice Chancellor's directive, the contract language on tuition reimbursement must be strictly adhered to. There is a downloadable application form within the FAP G25 policy website.
