Legal Question in Education Law in California
My husband a full time working student. Working on days and student at night but there seems a problem in his job place. It feels like that the manager/director is hindering my husband to pursue his education. They are not accommodating/flexible with his current situation. My husband was thinking of cutting down 1 hour from his eight-hour job apparently the manager said that he should work the said working hours. My husband went to HR about the policy and said that it's up to the department's manager decision. What�s the purpose of the company's benefits of tuition reimbursement when the fact that they are hindering the worker, is there any law that protects the worker to continue with their education?

The only relevant issue is whether there is a law that allows an employee to cut his work hours in order to attend school and there is nothing the employer can do about it. The answer is the opposite. If your husband was hired for a full time job, he is obligated to work full time. His employer has no obligation to leave work undone or make other employees take up the slack just so your husband has an easier time attending classes.
