According to Article 131 of the Labor Code, companies have a duty to train their workers. Until the beginning of October 2019, workers were entitled to 35 hours of training. Currently, the law stipulates that all companies must give at least 10% of their workers 40 hours of continuous training per year. In the case of fixed-term contracts of 3 months or more, the number of hours of training each year is proportional to the duration of the contract in that year.
