The benefit of training leave is by right to attend a training course or attend a training session meeting the criteria set out in article R. 4135-9.
It may, however, be refused by the employer if he considers, after consulting the works council or, failing this, the staff delegates where the company has them, that the employee’s absence would have detrimental consequences for production and the smooth running of the company.
If the employee renews his request at the end of a period of four months following notification of an initial refusal, a new refusal may not be made.
