Objective

We strongly encourage employees to pursue additional formal education to enhance their knowledge and skills! In order to do that, we’ve created an education benefit program that allows you to grow and learn at the company’s expense.

Details

• Each employee has $1,000 to be used annually on classes, conferences, travel, and books to benefit career growth while at Nylas.
• The minimum eligibility is six months of company service.
• An employment year is based on the employee’s anniversary.
• Books purchased for participation in company-sponsored book clubs do not count against the $1,000 limit.

Example Use Cases

• Career development classes
• Conferences
• Travel and accommodations for classes and conferences
• Communication coaching
• Educational books

Process

• To participate, the employee must submit a request by emailing HR and their manager. HR will check the employee’s education benefit balance and the employee’s compliance with policy rules and procedures. If the employee’s application complies with policy requirements, HR will let the employee know that the benefit has been approved and the amount of the benefit. If the employee’s application is not compliant, then HR will notify the employee why.
• The employee may be reimbursed for education budget expenses only after receiving approval from HR and their manager.
• At the conclusion of an exam or course, the employee must submit a transcript, certificate of completion, or other documentation to HR to be added to the employee’s personnel file.

Additional Rules

• Nylas will pay for a second exam only if the second exam score is higher than the prior exam score and the score received on the second exam is considered a passing score.
• Nylas will not pay for the employee to retake a course.
