Time Away from Work Reimbursement
The available funds for Professional Development reimbursement can be used for time away from work. The training expenses should coincide with the duration needed to complete the training. For example, if the training is a 1-hour class that costs $100, then the employee could (this is optional) add $50 (or any dollar amount) for time spent away from work for a total reimbursement of $150. The max reimbursement amount per calendar year will be reduced by $150.
