Criteria for RTITB levy exemption
Page 24
If you've noticed an error in this article please click here to report it so we can fix it.
IN THE ARTICLE on training services (CM Deptember 221 the statement is made that "Transport companies sending trainees there are entitled to an exemption of the levy they pay to the RTITB". This assertion is quite incorrect and in order that your readers are not misled, i trust the following will clarify the situation.
To achieve exemption an employer must satisfy both general and occupational criteria as set out each year in the Board's Employers' Guide. The criteria requires an employer to make satisfactory training arrangements for his company only some of which can be met by attendance at offthe-job courses. Obviously such off-the-job courses must be of an approved standard whether this be at EP Training Services or elsewhere. Thus an employer whose only training arrangement is the attendance at approved off-the-job courses will not satisfy the exemption criteria.
