Self-funding CIPD course as doesn't want tie-in

Lindsay

After asking employer if they are willing to help fund the level 5 CIPD course and him brushing it off. Employee decided to self fund the course... now employer has been told by a friend that he should pay for the course or risk losing said member of staff due them advancing in careers and able to gain more pay etc. Employee doesn’t want employer to fund the course anymore and instead would like to request a pay rise due to not being on a great wage anyway for the role they do... how would they go about this?

  • I self-funded my course because I wanted to be in control of the choices I had with my career. I didn't expect my current employer to give me a pay rise though for doing it. Negotiating on pay is not just about the qualifications I hold, it's also about the context, the scope of the role, performance, market etc and also salary increases don't usually come with a tie in.

    I'd say the ship has sailed on the original opportunity and just because the employer is now worried they might lose the person, it might already be too late to save the trust, confidence & psychological contract between them and this individual. They won't know without that grown up conversation, discussed below, and even with it....there are no guarantees it will keep them. That's the nature of the employer / employee relationship.
