Managing International Schools and Programs Allowances

This topic discusses how to manage educational data.

Your organization may provide financial assistance to employees on global assignments, such as school tuition for children and language and orientation classes for adults. PeopleSoft HR helps determine any educational assistance to which employees are entitled and tracks multiple institutions.

Use the International School/Program and Dependent International School pages to track educational allowances for your employees and their dependents.
