Practice Passage 4
Chronological
order is very important, especially when
it comes to procedures. If you perform the steps out of
chronological order, you won’t get the results you
desire. Just imagine, for example, that you are trying to
bake a cake. What happens
when you do things out of
order? You go without dessert.
Of course, the consequences of not following
proper chronological order at work can be much more
serious, so it’s important that you strengthen this skill.
Read

you keep track of the steps that an employee must fol-
low to get tuition reimbursement.

Our company will be happy to reimburse you for
college courses that enhance
your job performance. Before you register for the course, you must get approval
first from your immediate supervisor and then from Human Resources. If you
are
taking the course for credit, you must receive a C+ or better in the course. If
you are not taking it for credit, you must pass the course. After you have com-
pleted the course, you must write a report explaining
the content of the course
and its relevance to your position. Then, you must fill out a reimbursement
request. Attach a tuition payment receipt, your report, and
a copy of your grades
to this request and promptly submit this request to your supervisor. Once your
supervisor has approved the request, you can then submit all these forms to
Human
Resources, and you should receive your check within two weeks.
There are eight separate steps an employee must
take to be reimbursed for college course work. What are
they? List them below in the order in which the
employee must do them.
