The employer and the employee may conclude a schooling clause under certain conditions. The clause relating to the remuneration threshold is made more flexible by the law of 14 October 2018, which came into force on 10 November 2018.
The schooling clause is a clause by which the employee undertakes to reimburse part of the costs of the training he receives at the employer's expense in the event of departure before the expiry of the period of application of the clause.
It must be recorded in writing (in compliance with the language requirements) and laid down at the latest when the training begins.
The schooling clause can only be concluded when certain conditions are met.
The employee's gross annual remuneration must exceed EUR 34,180 (in 2018). However, from now on, this condition must no longer be met when the clause concerns a training for an occupation or position included on the Regions' lists of bottleneck occupations or hard-to-fill positions. The place of work determines the applicable list.
The other conditions remain unchanged:
