SECTION C: RE-PAYMENT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE EMPLOYEE AND MOHAWK
COLLEGE
In applying for tuition assistance interest free loan:
1.
I understand that my tuition loan will be repaid to Mohawk College as indicated in the promissory note below
2.
My employer, Mohawk College, shall and is hereby authorized to make deductions as indicated in the promissory note below
3.
I understand, and agree, that on any payroll date during the term of this agreement, I may, if I wish, pay the loan off in its entirety.
I understand that partial payments are not allowed.
4.
I understand, and agree, that in the event of termination of my employment with Mohawk College for any reason, including death,
the balance of the outstanding loan at the time shall immediately become payable, and Mohawk College is hereby authorized to
deduct this from my final pay and in the event my final pay is not sufficient to cover the balance, I, or my estate shall pay the
outstanding balance to Mohawk College due immediately upon notification.
5.
In the event that payroll is suspended (i.e.: unpaid leave of absence), I shall make arrangement with the College to cover the
payments that I would otherwise have made for the time period involved.
6.
I understand, and agree, that in the event I withdraw from the academic institution, it is my sole responsibility to negotiate
reimbursements with the academic institution. Mohawk College will continue to deduct the agreed upon amount of my tuition
from my pay until full payment has been made.
7.
I understand that the money borrowed from Mohawk College is considered an interest free loan and therefore is a taxable benefit
under current income tax legislation. The taxable benefit calculation is based on Canada Revenue Agency’s prescribed rate and will
appear on my T4 slip. The taxes associated with this benefit will be deducted on each pay for the duration of the loan.
