Apply to your employer for training leave in writing with the following information:
- Date,
- Content,
- Provider of the training programme and
- Information on the recognition of the organisation in accordance with the Bildungszeitgesetz Baden-Württemberg.
Tip: Use the recommended application form. You can find this by following the link in the more detailed information.
The employer will make a decision no later than four weeks after receipt of the application. If it fails to do so, the training leave is deemed to have been approved. These deadlines are intended to ensure planning security on both sides.
Your employer can only reject the application for training leave
- if there are urgent operational reasons to the contrary, for example, if other colleagues' holidays or illness are already causing significant disruption to operations,
- if ten per cent of the training time to which all employees in the company are entitled for the current year has already been taken or approved, or
- if fewer than ten people were employed in the company on 1 January of a given year.
