- Short description
Employees can take a leave for longer periods of full-time education and training while continuing to receive wages or receiving wage replacement payments. The different collective agreements stipulate the rights regarding different aspects of training leave, such as length, the scope of relevant training activities etc. In general, employer permission for training leave (or any other leave period) is required. The employer may refuse training leave if the purpose is not suitable or the employee in question is indispensable at that point in time.
