Description
An employer is obliged to provide education, training and further training to workers if the needs of the working process require so or if education, training or further training may prevent the cancellation of the employment contract for reasons of incompetence or for business reasons. In accordance with the needs of education, training and further training of workers, the employer has the right to refer the worker for education, training and further training. Education, training and further training are defined as a right and obligation of the employer and the worker alike.
The duration and the course of education and the rights of the contracting parties during and after the education are to be laid down in a contract on education and/or a collective agreement. A worker who is undergoing education, training or further training has the right to absence from work to prepare for or take exams, at least when the worker takes an exam for the first time.
The employer must ensure equal treatment in respect of the personal circumstances regarding access to training, education, and requalification.
A temporary work agency is obliged to provide the worker with education, training and further training as described above. The temporary work agency and the user undertaking must lay down the education, training and further training of the worker during their assignment to the user undertaking.
