The competent body shall set up a vocational training committee, which shall be informed and consulted on all important matters relating to vocational training. Work on the vocational training committee is voluntary. Voluntary work is understood to mean unpaid participation in the performance of public duties. As a member of a vocational training committee, you will receive compensation for your expenses:

• cash expenses
• lost time.
• Mileage allowance for car.

The compensation serves to reimburse expenses that you have incurred for travel costs, additional meals and any overnight stays that may have become necessary. Travel costs are reimbursed for journeys by public or private transport between your home or place of work and the place where the meeting or other event of the vocational training committee takes place.

Compensation for lost time is calculated as a lump sum per meeting. You will only receive compensation for time missed if you do not receive a salary from your employer or employer for the time spent.

The amount of compensation is determined by the competent body with the approval of the supreme state authority.
