What is this training agreement template?

The basics: This training agreement template should be used when an employer pays training fees for its employee and wishes the employee to repay the fees. It is akin to any employee loan.

Content of this training agreement template: The training agreement template includes the following content, that can be customised to meet your business's needs:

  1. What costs are covered by the company, including the level of costs and what those costs will cover;
  2. Circumstances where the employee will cover the costs instead;
  3. Circumstances where the employee must reimburse the company (e.g., if the employee is obliged to repay over time in any event or if the fees are only repayable in specific circumstances, e.g., the employee leaves the business within a certain period);
  4. How the company may reimburse their costs; and
  5. The employee's responsibility to pay tax.

Generative AI has quietly moved from a novel experiment to a core business infrastructure for SMEs.
