Training that employers must give their workers every year: at least 40 hours, or, on a fixed-term contract of three months or more, a share in proportion to its length. The training is given by the company itself, a certified training centre or an educational institution, and a certificate is due at the end. Study hours under the working-student scheme count towards these 40. It is set out in Article 131 of the Labour Code; failing to provide it is a serious offence, and complaints go to ACT.
