It is often agreed between the employee and the employer that the employer will train the employee, and once the employee leaves the unit, he will compensate the training cost of the unit. However, the two sides often have disputes over whether the training expenses occur and the scope of the expenses.

The newly promulgated and implemented Labor Contract Law clearly stipulates the training expenses of the unit:

The training expenses stipulated in the second paragraph of Article 22 of the Labor Contract Law include the certified training expenses paid by the employer for the professional and technical training of the workers, the travel expenses during the training period and other direct expenses incurred by the workers due to the training. Other expenses cannot be used as training expenses for employees.
