Training Rights!

New legislation will enable employees the right to request study and training leave. Businesses employing 250 or more staff members will be affected by the changes.

The training must be considered relevant, and Employers may refuse requests if they have a strong enough business case to do so.

Skills Minister Kevin Brennan said:

“We need to empower people to speak about training opportunities and the benefits they can bring to a business’ success.

“Many companies and organisations are very good at training their staff, but we need to make sure that all businesses are advising employees on what is on offer.

“This is where a regulation like Time to Train will be able to help people. It will give them the confidence to ask about training and skills, allowing them to take control of their own careers.”
