Refer to Appendix. B The Hospital shall make available to nurses who have been employed at least one (1) year reimbursement for a portion of the tuition paid for college classes which are required for a nursing or nursing-related degree on receipt of proof of satisfactory completion of the class(es) and proof of payment of the tuition. "Satisfactory completion" shall be defined as a numerical grade of 2.75-3.0 (or its equivalent) or higher. During each fiscal year beginning July 1, the reimbursement to any one nurse shall not exceed seven hundred fifty dollars ($750) and the total life-time amount paid per nurse while in the bargaining unit for reimbursement of tuition shall not exceed three thousand dollars ($3,000). Tuition reimbursement for casual employees shall be addressed on a case-by-case basis by mutual written agreement between the employee, Association and the Hospital. Each nurse who receives tuition reimbursement shall agree to be available to be scheduled for part-time or greater work for a period of one (1) year following the completion of the class(es) on their regular, or other mutually agreeable, shift. If the nurse voluntarily leaves the Hospital prior to this time, the nurse shall repay tuition received, prorated, based on the number of months remaining to complete the one (1) year of service requirement. This payment may be deducted by the Hospital from the nurse’s last paycheck unless the parties have agreed to an alternative payment schedule.
