Training leave

In the public sector, individuals are entitled to time-off for both vocational training, as well as paid study leave to participate in courses meeting specific priority needs identified by the government. If workers are sitting for any examinations approved by the organisation, even when these examinations are directly related to the workers' responsibilities at work, they are entitled to a maximum of six days paid study leave. A collective agreement for workers in non-professional and non-administrative posts stipulates that workers are granted paid study leave if taking part in courses approved by the company although following their completion of studies beneficiaries have to work for the company for a period of time as agreed previously.
