Muss sich mein Arbeitgeber an meiner Weiterbildung finanziell beteiligen?
Does my employer have to contribute financially to my continuing education, further training?
In principle, your employer does not have to contribute financially to your continuing education, further training unless this is explicitly stipulated in your contract or he/she requires you to do so. In many cases, however, an employer will reimburse their employees for a share of the costs of continuing, further training in the field of accounting if this is relevant or even essential for their current or future job. Talk to your line manager about your plans and your future role in the company if you wish to remain employed there after your continuing, further training. If you are planning to change jobs after a bookkeeping course anyway, your current employer will have no interest in supporting you financially and you will have to bear the costs alone. For courses that benefit your current company, if you do not receive a financial subsidy, other arrangements can be made, such as attending a compact course during working hours or compensation in the form of overtime for the hours of your training.
