Provisions common to all of the above benefits
Please note that these support and reception measures may be allocated to recipients who have started FormaTemp training courses but have not yet been included in the skills audit. This also applies to applications already submitted and suspended due to lack of skills audit.
If the required documentation is missing, Ebitemp will suspend the process and send the request for additional documentation, which must be received within 120 calendar days, after which, if no additional documentation is received, the application will be considered to have lapsed and will be rejected.
If the application was not submitted using the correct benefit section of the portal/paper application form, the submitted application will be cancelled and a new application will have to be submitted in accordance with the deadlines set out in the relevant regulation. The date of receipt of the new submission will be the decisive date for processing the application.
In order to guarantee provision of the benefit, Ebitemp reserves the right to request further or different documentation, in addition to the documents listed above.
It should be noted that requests submitted by minors must be signed by someone with parental authority
The assessment and approval of applications is subject to the sole discretion of the Performance Committee.
In order to protect its rights, Ebitemp reserves every right, including the right to take legal action, in the event of false declarations or forged documents or in any case in the event of behaviour that could potentially constitute a civil or criminal offence.
