For those employees who have a January Annual Increment (AI), today's paycheck (1/23/14) should reflect either an increase for moving into your next step OR if you are at top step you will see your "top step bonus" in today's paycheck.

A&R has come to an agreement with the State to modify our Tuition Reimbursement Memorandum of Understanding.

The agreement clarifies that employees are entitled to reimbursement for a maximum of twelve credits per contract year notwithstanding the number of courses taken. [A contract year runs from July 1 thru June 30]

The modified language reads as follows: "Employees shall be eligible for tuition reimbursement for a maximum of three (3) courses or twelve (12) credits or the equivalent per year."
