The question was referred to the FPB and it advised as follows:
(a)(iv)(aa) to (cc) The FPB has an educational assistance policy which
provides financial support (bursaries) to employees for part-

conditions of the support (including work-back provisions)
are stipulated in an educational assistance agreement. In
terms of the current policy, employees do not have to pay for
educational assistance provided that they successfully
complete the course undertaken. Payment for an approved
educational assistance qualification would be required in the
following instances:
⢠Where the employee discontinues the course or fails to
receive certification after final assessment. The full
amount will become payable to the employer over a period
not exceeding 12 months or on expiry of contract if this
occurs before the completion of the 12 month period
⢠Where the employee terminates his / her service with the
employer before completion of the course. The full
amount is repayable to the employer on termination
⢠Where an employee receives certification for successful
completion of the course, it is expected that he / she
will remain in service with the employer for a minimum
period of 12 months from the date of completion of the
course
⢠Should the employee terminate his / her services with
the employer after successful completion of the course
and before the 12 month period, he / she will become
liable to repay the total cost reduced pro-rata by the
period of subsequent service
