Training and development policies must comply with this legislation and provide a clear process for employees to request time off for training.
The National Minimum Wage Act 1998: This legislation sets out the minimum hourly rates of pay that employers must pay their employees. Training and development policies must ensure that any training time is compensated in accordance with this legislation.
The Data Protection Act 2018: This legislation sets out the requirements for the collection, use, and storage of personal data. Training and development policies must ensure that any data collected as part of training is done in compliance with this legislation.
The Working Time Regulations 1998: This legislation sets out the maximum number of hours that employees can work in a week and the minimum rest periods they are entitled to. Training and development policies must ensure that training time does not result in employees exceeding these limits.
