Applying for educational leave
Description
Employees whose place of work is in Saxony-Anhalt are entitled to five days of paid special leave per year for educational purposes that thematically serve job-specific further training.
Prerequisites are:
- the employment relationship has existed for at least six months and
- there are no urgent operational reasons to the contrary.
In addition, the organizer must have a permit to grant the educational exemption of the State Administration Office for the training offered.
You can request proof of approval of the educational leave for the planned training from the respective organizer in the form of a copy of the approval notice or a confirmation for submission to your employer.
The costs incurred for courses within the framework of educational leave are generally to be borne by the employees themselves. There is no entitlement that these costs must be borne by the employer.
You must apply for your educational leave from your employer.
The Education Exemption Act does not apply to persons who are civil servants, who are in a judicial office, as well as to soldiers and civilian service performers. Special regulations apply to these employees.
