Training Requests
Let employees propose training, get it approved, and get reimbursed through one request.
Let employees propose training, get it approved, and get reimbursed through one request.
Overview
Approving a single class, certification, or tuition reimbursement can involve a supervisor, HR, and finance, and paying for it involves them all again. On paper, requests wait between desks, receipts go missing, and some employees stop asking. This workflow carries one request from proposal through approval to reimbursement.
Why it matters
Approvals before registration closes
Each approver is alerted the moment it's their turn, so requests clear while there's still time to enroll.
One request from proposal to payment
The request that gets training approved also gets it reimbursed, and no paperwork is collected twice.
Bottlenecks HR can see
HR sees every request's status and can step in where approvals slow down.

FAQ
What is tuition reimbursement in government?
Tuition reimbursement, or tuition assistance, is a program where an agency repays employees for approved college courses or degree programs. Most programs require approval before enrollment and proof of completion before payment.
Why don't employees use their training benefits?
The process is often the barrier. At Sonoma County, the paper reimbursement process was difficult enough that some employees skipped claims and left benefits unused. A simpler request is one of the most direct ways to raise participation.
Can one request handle both training approval and reimbursement?
Yes. Employees submit one request before the training, and the same request carries through to reimbursement once they upload receipts [and proof of completion].
