Attendance at any such event is subject to the following policies on reimbursement and compensation. For attendance at events required or authorized by AJK, any customary and reasonable expenses will be reimbursed upon submission of proper receipts. Acceptable expenses generally include registration fees, materials, meals, transportation, and parking. Reimbursement policies regarding these expenses should be discussed with a supervisor or the CFO in advance. Employee attendance at authorized outside activities will be considered hours worked for non- exempt employees and will be compensated in accordance with normal payroll practices. While AJK generally encourages all employees to improve their knowledge, job skills, and promotional qualifications, such activities do not qualify for reimbursement or compensation under this policy unless prior written approval is obtained. LITERACY ASSISTANCE AJK will reasonably accommodate and assist employees with their literacy needs, provided the requested accommodation does not create an undue hardship for AJK. Employees who need time off to participate in an adult education program for literacy assistance should inform the HR Manager, so arrangements can be made to provide unpaid time off or an adjusted work schedule. AJK will make reasonable efforts to safeguard the employee’s privacy with respect to such a request. Employees may choose to use any accrued PTO benefit, if available, in lieu of unpaid leave.
