© - ATH all rights reserved - Edition 2024 62 EMPLOYER’S GUIDE 2024 COMPANY’S TRAINING OBLIGATION Employers must ensure that their employees are suited to their post. They ensure their continued capacity to perform a specific role, given changes in roles, technologies and organisations. They can propose training that helps develop skills and provide access to different levels of professional qualification. All the company’s training initiatives are included in its skills development plan. Employees attending training are deemed to be performing their employment contract. Define your training strategy : priorities, company’s needs, employees’ aspirations... FUNDING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT Companies participate in professional development via the direct funding of training initiatives and the payment of a contribution. Employers with less than 11 employees pay a minimum contribution of 0.55 % of their payroll to fund continuing professional development. This contribution is 1 % of payroll for employers of 11 employees and more. Since 1 January 2020, passing the threshold of 11 employees only increases the contribution rate after 5 years. Companies with less than 50 employees can obtain funding from skills agencies to implement their competency development plan. Since 1 January 2022, the contribution for professional development is collected by URSSAF [social security contribution collection agency] on behalf of France Compétences. CAREER & TRAINING REVIEW Every 2 years, the employer has to arrange a career and training review with each employee to assess their career progression prospects, particularly in terms of qualifications and employment. A written report is drafted. Every 6 years, this review is used as a summary of the employee’s professional development. The employer must also offer employees the chance to have a career review when returning from certain types of leave (maternity, long illness, parental leave...). In the event of a long absence, the review can be carried out early at the employee’s initiative. The career and training review is not the same as the appraisal interview. However, it is possible to hold the appraisal interview and the career and training review on the same date, subject to the following two conditions : the employer must not raise any issues relating to the employee's appraisal during the career and training review and must ensure that two separate reports are drawn up. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT 30 What you need to know : All companies, regardless of their size, are required to offer their employees training and help fund professional development.
