Qualification upgrading means a change in the level (value) of qualification; it shall also mean acquisition of qualification or an extension of qualification. Qualification upgrading shall be studies, training and other forms of education for the purpose of attaining higher-level education (qualification) provided that this conforms with the needs of the employer. Where greater or further rights have not been agreed or determined, an employee who upgrades his qualification is entitled to time off (relief from work) with compensatory wage or salary. An employee is entitled to time off in the necessary scope to sit for an entry examination. The employer is entitled to follow the course and results of his employee's qualification upgrading; the employer may stop granting a certain employee time off (relief from work) if the employee has become long-term unfit to perform the type of work for which he is upgrading his qualification or the employee, through no fault on the side of the employer, has not fulfilled substantial obligations relating to qualification upgrading without any serious reasons for a prolonged period.
