-
Under the SBL-Khas, approval from HRDF must be obtained before training commences. Training cost reimbursement allowed is based on the rate of financial assistance determined by the HRDF from time to time and the payment is based on EMPLOYERS CLAIMS. Employers’ account should not have any levy arrears as HRDF would debit the cost fee directly from employers’ account and pay the training provider.
