Subsidized training, have you planned it already?

All companies that contribute to social security have a CREDIT; this should be taken advantage of and should be used to organize training for workers discounted from the payment to social security.

This credit consists of a percentage of what each worker contributes through their payroll for training, so putting together credits that every employee provides courses can be offered to everyone. 

Therefore, why not take advantage of this circumstance by designing quality training that motivates and trains the work team equally? Given the starting point and/or expectations are different among the participants, new concepts for some, updating for others, and positioning in the company for all.

This way, we can achieve a course that adds value, that guarantees the attendance and predisposition of the students, a critical factor in being able to take advantage of this credit. 

With the subsidized training, everyone benefits. The workers win, achieving a higher qualification, the company, with a more competent team, and the client, with a better service.

To favor the correct management of credits for courses it’s necessary to comply with rigorous regulations regarding their organization and documentation.

The company must be involved in the planning of the training, along with FUNDAE (former Fundación Tripartita), the training center, or external entities, as information and documentation about the courses must be presented to FUNDAE.

So what can be done to ensure this communication is easy? It is essential to designate a person responsible for this task, someone who knows the procedure thoroughly to keep track of the entire course. 

Below is the information required for the subsidized training:

Before the course:

  • Provide company data.

  • Provide data of participants.

  • Inform the RLT (Legal Representation of Workers) of the courses to be held.

During the course:

  • Supervise and encourage workers to attend classes, taking into account that only those who attend at least 75% of their duration may be subsidized.
  • Attend the visit of an on-site inspection if it were to occur.

After the course:

  • Keep the documentation generated from the courses for four years.
  • Communicate to the responsible department the accounting obligations of the course expenses and corresponding subsidizing.
  • Address the requirements of FUNDAE if they were to occur.

In the hotel factory, we work with our clients so that they can take full advantage of all the resources available of their company to facilitate the empowerment and development of its employees.
