PIF Management – Individual Training Permit
We help you apply for and process your Individual Training Plan (PIF) so you can pursue official training during working hours and with a salary. Gain annual leave hours, officially recognized training, and comprehensive management with your company and FUNDAE (State Foundation for Training in Employment).
How can your company recover costs while your employees are studying?
This leave allows an employee to pursue official studies - such as a master's degree, a vocational training course, an official language school, or a professional certificate - while the company recovers that time through social security bonuses.
What type of training allows you to process a PIF?
The PIF is intended for official and accredited training programs, such as:
Degrees, master's degrees, vocational training cycles, high school diploma or vocational training.
Professional certificates.
University-issued degrees recognized by the university.
Professional skills accreditation processes.
Training required for the practice of regulated professions.
The training must have a face-to-face component, even if it is semi-face-to-face or online, and it is possible to also include travel time, self-study or rest time (in cases of night shifts).
How much can the company recover?
The company recovers the salary costs for the hours the employee is absent for training. This includes base salary, prorated bonuses, and social security contributions.
This is an additional bonus to the usual training credit, with a limit of 200 hours per permit and academic (or calendar) year.
The additional credit available varies depending on the size of the company, for example:
Available hours for PIF
200 hours
400 hours
600 hours
800 hours
200 additional hours
Medium Template
From 1 to 9 workers
From 10 to 49 workers
From 50 to 249 workers
From 250 to 499 workers
For every 500 workers
Who can apply?
Any employee can request a Individualized Care Plan (IPP) from their company, and the company cannot refuse it except for justified production or organizational reasons. The company also has the obligation to inform the workers' legal representatives (if any).

The complete application and communication with FUNDAE
Monitoring the permit and required documentation
Calculation and application of the bonus
Issuing the necessary reports and certificates
And advice for any requirement.
In addition, we help you check if there are cases in your company that meet the requirements and could be receiving bonuses without knowing it
