Sinclair has a Tuition Reimbursement Plan that offers the opportunity for full-time employees to apply for reimbursement of tuition expense if:

• The employee is in the employ of Sinclair while taking the course for which reimbursement is requested;
• the employee has completed at least one (1) year of employment prior to enrolling in the course;
• the course is directly related to the area of work the employee does for the Company or is in the best interest of the Company or the media industry;
• the employee completes and submits an Educational Reimbursement Application for each course and receives the appropriate approvals prior to enrolling in the class;
• the employee’s performance is satisfactory.

The Company will reimburse the employee for 100% of the tuition cost if a grade of “A” is received, 90% for a “B” and 80% for “C”. No reimbursement will be made for pass/fail courses, testing or other course fees, books or room and board.

To apply for tuition reimbursement, the Educational Reimbursement Application must be completed and submitted to the VP & General Manager prior to enrolling in the class. Since approval is also dependent upon budgeting for the expense, the employee is encouraged to submit the application with as much notice as possible, preferably prior to the location preparing its annual budget. If the cost of tuition is within budget and the application is approved, the employee must sign a Training Expense Contract which states that the Company will be reimbursed by the employee if the employee leaves the Company, either voluntarily or is dismissed, within twenty-four (24) months of receiving this tuition benefit. The amount of tuition reimbursement due to the Company may be deducted from any remaining salary that is due at time of termination of employment. If this amount is insufficient to cover the reimbursement, the employee must make arrangements for additional prompt payment to the Company.
