© - ATH all rights reserved - Edition 2024 63 2024 EMPLOYER’S GUIDE In companies with up to 50 employees, the employer must top up the personal training account by € 3,000 if it fails to fulfil its obligation to perform regular career reviews. PERSONAL TRAINING ACCOUNT Everyone is entitled to a personal training account (CPF) when they start working life. Each person has their own individual account which they retain when they change employer or are unemployed. It ends upon retirement. Employees are free to use their CPF to complete qualification- based training. The law defines the training programmes eligible for the CPF. For an employee with working hours more than or equal to half the statutory working hours over the whole year, the CPF is credited with € 500 per year, up to a limit of € 5,000 ; for other employees, the amount is on a pro rata basis according to the hours worked. The CPF is managed technically and financially by the Caisse des dépôts et consigations, which will cover the costs of training completed by employees. However, the person holding an individual account must contribute to financing the training from now on. A digital application dedicated to the CPF can be used by employees to check their entitlement. They can enrol and pay for training. Ask us : some employees can benefit from an increase in their entitlements credited to the CPF. NOTIFICATION OF STAFF REPRESENTATIVES In companies with at least 50 employees, every year, the social and economic committee must be informed and consulted on the professional development strategy and the skills development plan as well as the implementation of training & career reviews. RETRAINING CPF The retraining CPF is a specific way of using the CPF which allows employees to complete certifying training with the aim of changing jobs. It concerns employees with a length of service of at least 24 months, consecutive or not, 12 months of which in the company, regardless of the type of employment contracts. Employees must submit a written request to go on a training course. The employer cannot object if the employee meets the conditions but can postpone the date. The employee must have their retraining plan validated by the « Commission paritaire interprofessionnelle régionale » (CPIR- ATpro) which handles the CPF (training costs, remuneration, professional expenses, etc.). The employee’s salary is paid monthly by the employer, which is then reimbursed by the CPIR [regional interbranch joint committee]. Advances are possible in companies with less than 50 employees. Ask us : for certain employees no length of service is required.
