Internal tuition assistance
The juice is worth the squeeze.
LemonAid runs tuition assistance end to end, from pre-approval to payroll-ready reimbursement, with caps and Section 127 handled automatically.
One path, from request to payroll
Every request follows the same four steps, so employees always know where they stand and reviewers always see the full picture.
01
Request pre-approval
Employees submit course details and estimated costs before the course begins.
02
Manager, then HRBP
Approvals run in sequence, so each reviewer sees the same complete record.
03
Submit completion
Grades, credits, and proof of payment are uploaded once the course ends.
04
Review and export
Caps and Section 127 tax treatment are computed, then exported for payroll.
For HR and Total Rewards
Built for the team that owns the program
Sequential review
Approvals that stay in order
Manager and HRBP review in sequence, each on the same record, with a full decision trail behind every outcome.
policy-driven
Your rules, not ours
Company caps, degree types, and approver titles come from your admin configuration. Nothing about your program is hard-coded.
IRC Section 127
Tax treatment handled
The $5,250 annual exclusion is applied automatically, and the taxable remainder is flagged so payroll never has to reverse-engineer it.
Payroll-ready
Export you can run as-is
Approved reimbursements export as a clean, auditable report, formatted for the people who actually cut the checks.
$5,250
Section 127, applied every time
LemonAid applies the annual IRC Section 127 exclusion, then flags the taxable remainder on the report, so the payroll export is correct on the first run.
