Repayment request
- When and how much
do you have to pay?

Training costs are usually covered by employers because the training of their own employees is seen as an investment in their own company. In order to prevent employees from resigning shortly after completing the training program and then profitably applying what they have learned with other employers, employers may agree to reimburse such costs in the event of termination by employees. This is usually regulated in the employment contract or in ancillary agreements. However, these repayment clauses are subject to strict requirements of labor court case law. Even individual deviations can lead to the ineffectiveness of the entire clause and thus to the elimination of the repayment obligation, see our blog post
