In Reply To: I started with a Big 5 firm about 8 months ago. Before beginning work, I passed the CPA exam on my own without any firm support. My firm reimburses employees up to $1500 to take a CPA exam study course of their choosing. I believe that I should be entitled to a cash payout/bonus of the same amount. This request has been denied. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get what I feel I deserve for being a being a better student?
Message: just move on - making waves over 1,500 is not worth it, and will reflect poorly on you. Should recent hires with MBA's be entitled to collect past tuition because the firm currently reimburses some staff pursuing an MBA? Of course not. Remember this "payout" is a perk subject to the whims (i.e. rules/policies) of the payor (the firm). If they were to decide that these CPA reimbursements should end, nothing could compel (nor should) them to resume.
