Thanks to the corporate tax savings under the new tax law, McDonald’s says it’s committed to increasing college tuition benefits for employees to the tune of $150 million over five years.

The company is raising the amount of assistance it gives on an annual basis to eligible salaried employees to $2,500/year, up from $700/year previously.

Managers, meanwhile, will have access to $3,000 annually for education, which is up from $1,050/year.

There are no lifetime caps on this perk, and the super-sized benefit takes effect May 1, 2018 and will be retroactive to January 1, 2018.

In addition, the restaurant is also lowering the eligibility requirement for tuition assistance on two fronts.

First, employees will only be required to be with McDonald’s for 90 days before being allowed to take advantage of this benefit. That’s down from nine months previously.

Second, employees who want tuition assistance will only need to put in 15 hours minimum a week instead of the previous requirement for 20 hours a week.

McDonald’s say it expects 400,000 employees to take advantage of the newly enhanced tuition assistance program.

Meanwhile, the Golden Arches is far from the only fast-food employer with a program to help employees pursue their dreams of higher education…
