Employer and employee can agree on a payback clause. Arrangements for training (including payback clauses) are made in the context of collective agreements in each industry sector and are valid for a specified time. Examples for regulations on payback clauses in collective agreements show that it is expected that the share of costs to be reimbursed should decline over time (e.g. 100% within the first year, 50% within the second year) and that the binding period needs to be limited (e.g. 2 years). Survey evidence showed that a considerable proportion of employees report the use of payback clauses by their employers.
