Training Layoff Scheme

The Training Layoff Scheme (TLS), introduced via the 'Framework for South Africa’s Response to the International Economic Crisis', allows South African companies and workers in economic stress to use layoff periods for productive training. The scheme aims to diversify worker skills and enable companies to enter specialized production or resolve production obstacles, with the ultimate goal of ensuring sustainable outcomes once regular work resumes.

• The Training Layoff Scheme (TLS) was established as part of the 'Framework for South Africa’s Response to the International Economic Crisis' to support South African workers and companies experiencing economic stress.
• A training layoff involves using the layoff period to train workers in a broader range of skills, allowing companies to move into specialized production or address existing production obstacles.
