Higher Education Perks
At the Comptroller’s Office, we encourage staff to continually grow through learning, development, and education. In addition to tuition waivers for employees and discounted tuition for dependents, we offer resources to assist employees in obtaining additional training or a job-relevant license, certification, or designation.
License, Certification, and Designation Policy
Employees are encouraged to obtain licenses, certifications, or designations relevant to their work and to keep those certifications active. The Office will assist employees by covering up to $3,500 in study materials and exam fees. Employees may also receive a pay increase for obtaining specific job-relevant licenses and certifications.
Professional Memberships
As a show of support and encouragement for our employees, the Office will reimburse up to four renewal fees for certifications, designations, licenses, or professional membership dues for a total not to exceed $600 annually per employee.
Fee Waiver and Fee Discount Programs
Tennessee State Employees are eligible to use the Fee Waiver and Fee Discount Programs. The Fee Discount Program is available on the first day of employment for full-time employees. The Fee Waiver Program is available after six months of employment with the state. More information about these benefits can be found here.
LinkedIn Learning License
Employees are assigned LinkedIn Learning (LIL) licenses to help them achieve their professional goals. Employees can access LIL at any time to take advantage of these online resources. LinkedIn Learning’s on-demand library of instructional videos covers a vast range of software, business, and creative skills.
