Minneapolis, MN asked in Employment Law for Minnesota

Q: Employer didn't reimburse for certificate and then I was laid off, should the employer be helping me get reimbursement?

Hi I was working under a company that said they would reimburse me for taking and passing a AWS certificate. Midway through my employment they dropped off and stopped even after I filled out the needed information for reimbursement. And then I got laid off and they're saying I should email some other department in the company but that company has not been responding. Is this any breach of agreement because their policy is that they would reimburse once every year and I got the certificate during employment?

A: A policy isn't a contact, but it could be a factor in determining some disputes. I am not quite sure what you are seeking reimbursement for. It certainly wouldn't be an ongoing obligation once your employment ends.
