Part 7 · 专业认证报销政策通知

Professional Certification Reimbursement

Questions 6-8 refer to the following policy announcement.

Professional Certification Reimbursement

A revised certification-reimbursement policy will take effect on November 1. Under the new policy, employees may claim the full cost of an approved professional examination after they have passed it. Reimbursement requests must be submitted within thirty days of the examination date and include both the payment receipt and official confirmation of the result.

The company may also cover up to fifty percent of the cost of an examination-preparation course. However, employees must obtain written approval from their department manager before registering for the course. Approval of a preparation course does not guarantee that the related examination fee will be reimbursed.

Fees for unsuccessful examination attempts are normally excluded. An exception may be made when the certification is mandatory for the employee's current position, provided that the department head confirms this requirement in writing. Examinations booked before November 1 will continue to be handled under the previous policy.
