Certification Reimbursement
If you successfully attain a certification (Ski or Snowboard Levels 1, 2, & 3) or certain accreditations (Children’s Specialist 1 & 2) while working with us, we’ll reimburse the cost of the exam.
It is your responsibility to notify SRS of the change. To do so, complete the Certification Evaluation & Reimbursement Form, provide a copy of the certification or accreditation and an invoice for the cost, and submit it to SRS Admin.
All reimbursements will be paid out in the pay period they were submitted, except for Level 1 certifications (ski and snowboard) that were passed after President’s Day. Those will be reimbursed upon return to SRS the following season.
If the certification merits a pay increase, it will occur on the first day of the pay period in which this process is completed; no back pay will be given for certification increases. Instructors that notify SRS of a change in certification prior to one month after the end of the season will receive the increase in addition to any applicable merit increases upon returning the following season. After that you’ll just receive the certification increase upon your return.
