Introduction and Brief Overview


Bill 90 of 1995 is the “Act to Foster the Development of Manpower Training”… the law of 1 %.
The main objectives of the Law are to improve manpower skills through training and development,
to promote employment in general, employment adaptation and employment integration.
We have the obligation to invest the equivalent of at least 1% of our annual payroll in training.
If the training investment does not meet that requirement the difference will be remitted to the
government who then deposits that sum in a National Training Fund (FNFMO).
Two reports are submitted to the government yearly.
1) Report to the Ministère du Revenue du Québec. Declares the amounts invested in training.
2) Report to Emploi Québec. Provides general information (i.e. who, number of training hours)

The training activity must have increased the employee’s job qualifications.

Expectations for 2006



Same procedure as last year…. same spreadsheet for reporting training.
Your cooperation is required to FULLY COMPLETE and NOT MODIFY the spreadsheet.
Recommend that the tracking be done progressively throughout the year, monthly for example.
 Won’t have to rely on memory or retrieve files.
 Questions can be asked and problems resolved in a short delay.
 This will facilitate the task and provide greater accuracy.
 As well, Staff Development will follow up monthly by sending an e-mail reminding all faculties/ units to
contact us should they wish to obtain statistics of all internal SD courses.
