I wonder what the tax implications are for employees. A limit at my employer's education reimbursement program is said to be about a threshold over which the reimbursement becomes taxable.

Edit: Here is a claim that is similar:

As stated above, any amount of tuition reimbursement that exceeds $5,250 is considered a fringe benefit of the job, and the employee will have to pay taxes on that amount. However, if an employee is taking a class related to their job or career, they can declare that their tuition is a work-related expense, thus making it tax-exempt. However, the employee should be prepared to prove that each class they take helps them improve at their job and benefits the company. Otherwise, the money will be considered taxable income.
