The Training Agreement Between Company And Employee is a crucial document in the South African business environment, designed to formalize training arrangements while ensuring compliance with local legislation, particularly the Skills Development Act 97 of 1998. It is typically used when an employer makes a significant investment in an employee's professional development, whether through external courses, internal programs, or professional certifications. The agreement outlines training specifics, cost arrangements, and service commitment periods, protecting the employer's training investment while ensuring fair treatment of the employee. It's particularly relevant in contexts where the training represents substantial cost or time investment, or where the skills gained are valuable in the broader market. The document must align with South African employment law principles, including those relating to restraint of trade and fairness in employment practices.
