Training Rights

If you are working for an employer who has 250 or more employees, then as from 6th April 2010 you have the right to apply for unpaid time off work to study or receive training. But the training and study must be connected to your employer’s business.

This right is pursuant to section 40 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009.

An employer can refuse if the training or study will not improve your performance at his business but otherwise where it is a reasonable request, it should be granted.”
