Contract of employment and a ‘BPVO’ contract. ▪ The employer concludes a work-based vocational training contract (BPVO) with the participant in a BBL level 2 or BBL level 3 programme with a term equal to the duration of the programme. The employer may only conclude such an agreement with an employee who has a contract of employment with that employer for at least 32 hours per week and for at least the duration of the programme. ▪ Provisions regarding the remuneration for this employment are set out in clause 4.4. ▪ If the apprentice employee has been given notice of dismissal for reasons not attributable to that employee, the employer will first search for a new employer with whom the apprentice employee can complete his or her BBL programme. Until such time, the contract of employment will remain in effect. ▪ If the employer is a training company and the BPVO contract is being cancelled, the contract of employment terminates at the same time. The employers involved in the training company help to relocate the apprentice employee.
