Each full-time employee will have $1000 per year to spend on educational needs or $500 per year for part-time employees. This can include books, event registrations, online courses, local workshops, college courses, etc. Education expenses must be related to your job in some way in order for us to provide this benefit in a non-taxable way for you. The budget will expire and restart at the beginning of each year. If you do not use the entire $1000, then any remaining balance will be zeroed out and a new $1000 budget will take its place.
If you wish to travel for educational purposes, see the Travel Budgets section of this handbook.
Each full-time employee will have $2400 per year to spend on professional coaching services (e.g. executive coach, career coach, life coach, etc.) Professional coaching services must be related to your personal and professional goals in the workplace or community at-large. (Note: this budget doesn't cover mental health-related therapy, which is covered under our medical health plan.)
